Using user selected colors and fonts

Sometimes, it is useful to use the system theme in an application UI to have a synchronous flow of colors and fonts between the operating system and the application. In these cases, we can dynamically load those values and apply them to our UI elements. This is achievable by accessing some special resource keys within the SystemColors and SystemFonts classes. In this recipe, we will learn how to use them.
