Toolkit theme overrides foreground? Why and how?

Question

I have SL 5 project where I didnt have time for proper styling. So I applied famous toolkit themes. I never worked with 3d party themes before.

So what I see seems a bug to me.

A page foreground is white. And I see white in text blocks in VS design mode and in the Blend. When I run the app it shows dark gray - blackish text...

Another thing just noted. I have a named template for text box and password box with semi-transparent background. After I applied theming the text in the boxes is now have solid white background... And I cant figure how can it happen. I have explicitely made certain things to be one way and it is being overriden and I dont get how it is possible.

Theme is SystemColors and applied in app.xaml like this:

tool:SystemColorsTheme.IsApplicationTheme="True"
