如何在uwp中使TextBox的背景透明？

Question

I'm trying to make a uwp application with dark theme.

But after I change the theme from light to dark, when I type in the textbox, the background of the textbox is white, rather than black.

So how can I change the background of the textbox when the textbox is in edit mode?

The codes of mine which takes no effect:

<Style x:Key="TextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
                <Border Name="TextBoxBorder" CornerRadius="10" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Gray">
                    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                        <VisualStateGroup>
                            <VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
                            <VisualState x:Name="Focused">
                                <VisualState.Setters>
                                    <Setter Target="TextBox.Background" Value="Black" />
                                    <Setter Target="TextBox.Foreground" Value="White" />
                                </VisualState.Setters>
                            </VisualState>
                        </VisualStateGroup>
                    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                    <TextBox x:Name="TextBox" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="Transparent" 
                             Background="Transparent"
                             Margin="2"/>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

When I start to type in the textbox of my app, the background is white.

When I start to type in the textbox of System App -- Mail, the background remains black.

Here is the Style Template that I created in Blend from Existing Template. Below is the result on focus.

<Style x:Key="TextBoxStyleBlack" TargetType="TextBox">
    <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlThemeMinWidth}"/>

Look closer @ <VisualState x:Name="Focused">

You will see I changed TargetProperty Background and Foreground to respective ThemeResources

Good Luck and Happy Coding.
