Changing Header Row Background

[Mark]

I'm trying to change the default colour of the header row on the expression dark theme of the grid view. I've edit a copy of the default style, but no matter what colours I change the background remains the same dark grey. I've managed to find and change the colours of the cells that make up the column headings. However there is a section remaining that isn't a column heading, just empty space on the right of all the column headings. Has anyone had any success in changing this default colour? 

The most obviously thing to change would be the value of the background in 

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridView_HeaderRowBackground" Color="#FF2D2E32" />

But this has no affect, even if I make it a bright red just as a test. Even attempting to hard code a value in the border has no effect.

<Border x:Name="PART_GridViewHeaderRowBorder" 
Background="Red"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" 
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
Grid.ColumnSpan="4" 
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
</Border>

Hi Mark,


If you need to change the background of GridViewHeaderRow, you have the following options:

1.Create a simple style.
2.Edit the template of this part in Blend and apply this style explicitly  in RadGridView.

Can you verify that you have defined a style for GridViewHeaderRow? Unfortunately in case of implicit style with TargetType GridViewHeaderRow the style would not be applied and we are aware of this issue.


Please check the attached project and let me know how I can assist you further.
