WL8 ChartPreferences - Where is it instantiated for the chart?

#WealthLab8

Good Morning...
I recall your mention that the current chart preferences would be reorganized in WL8. Help please, I can't seem to find the instance.

Otherwise, the migration tools did a fantastic job uplifting my code. A couple of obvious tweaks was all it has taken.

For reference... In WL7 an instance of the SelectedTheme lived in the factory. This is that code (as scrubbed by the migration tool):

CODE:
   
ChartThemeFactory cp = ChartThemeFactory.SelectedTheme;
// WPF Colors - use this extension method to convert
WLColor upBarColor = cp.ColorUpBar.ToGdiColor();
WLColor downBarColor = cp.ColorDownBar.ToGdiColor();

Here's how it would work in WL8:

CODE:

        //create indicators and other objects here, this is executed prior to the main trading loop
        public override void Initialize(BarHistory bars)
        {
         ChartPreferences cp = ChartThemeFactory.Instance.SelectedTheme;
         WLColor upBarColor = cp.ColorUpBar;
         WLColor downBarColor = cp.ColorDownBar;
        }
