Was window B opened from window A? Are we talking about a [parameterized window](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/use-only-one-window-for-different-components-values/68062/8)?

If you are simply wanting to set up default background colors, fonts, etc for consistency throughout the project, create tags, and store these parameters there. Then, you can simply bind your window properties to the tag properties.
