    Hi Freddy,

    This can be achieved by creating a custom StyleSelector and setting it to the DayButtonStyleSelector property of the control. The custom DayButtonStyleSelector that inherits StyleSelector class can be created as follows.

    C#:
    public class DayButtonStyleSelector : StyleSelector
    {
        public Style SpecialStyleSunday { get; set; }
     
        public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
        {
            CalendarButtonContent content = item as CalendarButtonContent;
            if (content != null)
            {
                if (content.Date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday && content.ButtonType == CalendarButtonType.Date)
                {
                    return SpecialStyleSunday;
                }
            }
            return base.SelectStyle(item, container);
        }
    }

    Next add the namespace in the XAML.

    XAML:
    <UserControl x:Class="CalendarDayButtonStyle.MainPage"
                 ...
                 xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CalendarDayButtonStyle"
                 xmlns:calendar="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.Calendar;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input"
                 ...>
    </UserControl>

    Create a StaticResource for the DayButtonStyleSelector and the SpecialStyleSunday Style.

    XAML:
    <local:DayButtonStyleSelector x:Key="CustomStyleSelector">
        <local:DayButtonStyleSelector.SpecialStyleSunday>
            <Style TargetType="calendar:CalendarButton">
                <Setter Property="Background">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="Red" Opacity="0.5"/>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </local:DayButtonStyleSelector.SpecialStyleSunday>
    </local:DayButtonStyleSelector>

    Finally set the DayButtonStyleSelector property of the control and set the DayButtonStyle to null in order for the custom DayButtonStyleSelector to be used as follows.

    XAML:
    <telerik:RadCalendar DayButtonStyleSelector="{StaticResource CustomStyleSelector}"
                         DayButtonStyle="{x:Null}"/>

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Hi Freddy,

    Please download this sample project which deals with changing the mouse over color of the RadCalendar.

    Thanks,
    Shinu.
