Hello Hamid,

Thank you for writing.

RadPageView uses separate styles for its different modes. Here is how you can define the color of the selected page header in StripView mode:

1. Open the desired theme in Visual Style Builder (Loading predefined themes) and select the RadPageViewStripItem elements in the control's structure - RadPageView - RadPageViewStripElement - StripViewItemContainer - StripViewItemLayout - RadPageViewStripItem.

2. Since the element uses ImageShape, you have to change the image used for the following states:
- RadPageViewStripItem.Selected;
- RadPageViewStripItem.Selected.MouseOver;
- RadPageViewStripItem.Selected.MouseDown.

For example to make it red please follow these steps:
- Create an image 1 px by 1 px with paint and color this pixel in red
- Select the Selected state of the RAdPageVireStripItem
- Click the Show Only Applied Repositories check box
- Double click the PageViewItemSelectedImageShape repository
- Set the red pixel image to the Image property
- Set the PaintMode to Tile

Attached you can find a sample red image.
