Hello,
I have an application with lot's of windows with grids to display data. I'm using both RadGridView and RadTreeListView controls.
I need to style grid rows in different ways: mostly it is coloring foreground based on data and alternate rows coloring. Color for alternate rows is the same over the application. But styles for foreground colors are different for every single grid and for different data. So I suppose that if I setup property AlternateRowBackground once in the root style of the grid and then I will specify only RowStyle for every grid based on specific data to display it will merge my specific RowStyle with AlternateRowBackground. Unfortunately, I can't do that because if I set AlternateRowBackground GridView will not merge it with RowStyle: it will only apply AlternateRowBackground for the Background property od GridViewRow and that's all!
I believe it's a bug, because in common cases there're one style for all rows and only background changes for alternates. But now I have to specify AlternateRowStyle basedon my specific row style with only one setter for background for every grid.
For example this thread is about the same problem.

Hi Pavel,
Indeed we are considering impementing this out of the box, however since this is a potential breaking change for a lot of our clients that are used to this behavior, we have to ensure there are no side cases that are gonna break when introducing such a change.
At the current moment the approach you should take is the same as Vlad suggested in the referenced forum thread.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for your reply. It's good to hear that you're going to fix this issue. When can we expect this change?

Hello Pavel,
As I said, a change like that takes a lot of testing in order to ensure we are not going to break most common scenarios. Therefore I cannot commit to a certain time frame, but I assure you we are going to do our best to include it in our binaries as soon as we can.

Hello Nick,
just wanted to add that I'm waiting for this fix too. It's a really common way, because it's used in standard WPF DataGrid.
