Changing foreground and background of datepicker

[imsp]

I'm having a devil of a time trying to change the foreground fontweight and background of a RadDatepicker control , specifically the default text block that shows before you click on it to expend the control.I want to set the background to transparent, and change it to normal fontweight

e.g. the control says "Select Date" currently, and here is the style associated with that control. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

 

<Style x:Key="RadDatePickerStyle1" TargetType="telerikInput:RadDatePicker">
<Setter Property="SelectorStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style TargetType="telerikInput:RadDateSelector">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
</Style>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>

Hi,

You will need to use the PickerButtonStyle property and define the foreground, background and font style there.

The PickerButtonStyle property accepts styles targeting the Telerik.Windows.Controls.PickerBox.PickerBoxToggleButton type.

I hope this is helpful.
