    I quite literally would rather endure pulling teeth than waste another hour on this crap. (already spent 8 hours. almost half my coding time so far on this project!!)
    Here's the deal...

    I have been trying everything to style the attached SL4 radgridview to be a simple two tone brown colour grid.
    I've tried dragging dummy controls on the screen, adding them as templates / styles etc.. as per telerik documentation...i have hundreds of ControlBackground's and other style attributes now in my app.xaml and so far all i've been able to achieve is what is in the screen.

    What am i missing to kill the grey strip on the left and the black gradient on the top left to the left of the Season column (these are both visible because i am grouping on the Season column).


    I just cant believe it is this difficult to style a datagrid. I've been using silverlight since 1.0 and this is just ridiculous guys!

    Now that i've given you heaps prove me wrong and show me how easy it is to fix this. Please.

    Hello Stephen Pascoe,

     The grey strip you wish to remove is a GridViewIndentCell object. You need to create a global implicit style that sets its background and border brush. The black gradient to the left of the Season column is a GridViewHeaderIndentCell object, which you also need to style. And just in case you wish to restyle the cell with the grouped column's name in the 'Grouped by' panel, that object is a GridViewGroupPanelCell, which, of course, also needs a style.

     I'm sorry it has been so inconvenient for you to restyle our RadGridView control. Please don't hesitate to contact us anytime you need assistance.

    Kind of annoying that there are hundreds of styles needed to just put some color on a grid.

    How about a sample project that uses most of the styles to assist with this beast. What Steve is doing is really not that advanced, yet there are gazillions of individual styles referenced to get a simple 2 color grid.

    Something is needed anyway!

    So i have dragged on to the art board GridViewIndentCell  and GridViewHeaderIndentCell objects.
    I then clicked from the top menu Object, then Edit Style -> create a copy.

    I then added it to the Application (app.xaml) where all the other styles are.

    I then remove the two controls from the artboard as i dont need them anymore (because i've created my styles).



    Now, how or where do i go to reference these styles in my actual gridview control?

    ...yes a sample project or 5 would be helpful.

    Hi iWebs,

    There are four elements responsible for indentation of the grid. 

    - Header Indent (the green one)
    - Indent (red one)
    - FooterIndent (yellow one)
    - GroupFooterIndent (blue one)

    The styles and templates for those are defined in the App.xaml and are applied as implicit styles as you initially tried to do. 

    I hope you will find the sample useful.

    Sincerely yours,
