The default colors for these controls seems to be similar to the Windows theme colors. How do you change the hover, selected, selected hover and pressed colors (code or XAML)? The following isn't working for the ListView:
<ListView>
<ListViewItemPresenter
PointerOverBackground="#99CEEA"
SelectedPressedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedPointerOverBackground="#99CEEA"
/>
In your VS/Blend Designer, right click on your ListView
and select
Edit Additional Templates > Edit Generated Item Container
(ItemContainerStyle) > Edit a Copy...
In the popup window above, if you want this style to be applied to all your ListViewItem
, select Apply to all otherwise just give it a name.
I'd recommend to create a new Resource dictionary for storing all ListView
related styling. To do so, just hit the New... button and give the resource dictionary a name (e.g. ListViewStyles.xaml
).
Finally, hit the OK button and you now have a fully generated style.
In the style's ControlTemplate
, you can locate the ListViewItemPresenter
control and update its colors accordingly.
The ListViewItemPresenter was in the wrong place in the XAML. Change this:
<ListView>
<ListViewItemPresenter
PointerOverBackground="#99CEEA"
SelectedPressedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedPointerOverBackground="#99CEEA"
/>
</ListView>
to this:
<ListView>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<ListViewItemPresenter
PointerOverBackground="#99CEEA"
SelectedPressedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedBackground="#72BFE9"
SelectedPointerOverBackground="#99CEEA" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView>
