Hello Rav,
There is currently no property of the RadTileViewItem control that fascilitates easily chaging the header background. We will add such a property as soon as our schedule allows us to, hopefully for the upcoming service pack.
So, at the moment the only way to cutomize the header background is to edit the control template. The easiest way to customize the header at runtime would be to have a style (in XAML) specifying the modified control template in the resources of your page/application, get a reference to that resource, and set the style to the TileViewItem at the moment you need to.

I hope I was able to help. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Tihomir
Thanks for the reply, and yes that is the solution I'm looking for, but I would like to know the default control template XAML that is used by the RadTileViewItem so that I can appropriately modify it.
Regards
Rav

Hello Rav,
You can edit the default template of the control via the standard way in MS Expression Blend (right click->Edit template->Edit a copy). I created a sample project which has the the template of the TileViewItem already extracted. Let me know if you have any dificulties with that.
