WPF ListView - how do i set selected item background colour?

Question

I currently have this, but it only work for the foreground colour.

Any help would be apriciated :D

Answer 1

It is the Border sub-element of the ListViewItem named "Bd" which handles background painting.

<Setter TargetName="Bd" Value="Green" Property="Background" />

Answer 2

This will take care of the background color, maybe it will also help you find the solution for the foreground, this is from http://blogs.msdn.com/wpfsdk/archive/2007/08/31/specifying-the-selection-color-content-alignment-and-background-color-for-items-in-a-listbox.aspx

<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
    <Style.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Green"/>
    </Style.Resources>
</Style>
