you can set a theme like Holo or Material design as mentioned in these threads
but probably it's not possible to switch this during runtime
you might want to ask there...

I made blocks witch changes the theme on the currect screen... When I open another screen and go back to previous it's by default... If it's possible tell me how to save it and how to change global colors... I'm sorry if I don't understand it...

how did you change the theme on the current screen?
It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

ok, you are not talking about a theme, you are just changing the background color and a label text color manually
use TinyDB to store the selection then coming back from the other screen read the selection again in the Screen.OtherScreenClosed event and set your colors accordingly
