I remember now why I was under the impression of the constraint so I never bothered to follow up on it.. Basically since the ApplicationBar was "non-bindable" (code behind wasn't something I wanted to mess with, but evolved my MVVM thoughts, view related code items are ok) I never investigated further, at any rate, how are you trying to set the background? Having looked at his code "creator of the bindableappbar" he uses a converter and doubles (kinda weird) in his test project, should work correctly with named colors based on his dependency properties.
