If you want to customize the appearance of a RadTreeViewItem then you have to edit its template and apply it as a custom Style.  This tutorial is based on Office_Black theme which is the default theme for RadControls for Silverlight/WPF.
In the sample project above you can see how to change the current parts from the control template.
You can also :
-set different image size
-apply different visual styles
-change the colors of corresponding elements
-add new elements in the template
-fully customize the template etc.

You can apply a custom style either by :
    <telerikNavigation:RadTreeView ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource RadTreeViewItemStyle}"/>
                                     or
    <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Style ="{StaticResource RadTreeViewItemStyle}"/>

Alternatively you can set the Template directly :
      <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem " Template="{StaticResource TreeViewItemDefaultTemplate}"/>
