I am developing a windows 8 metro app in which I styled my Xaml listview using StandardStyles.Xaml and changed its Selection color. Now I want to alter it like to change its selection color based on windows theme. ie) If you are changing to a theme in windows 8 its corresponding listview also will change its selection color. Ex): PC Settings. how can I get this? also I want to hide the selection tick mark in listview if possible?

I'm developing a Universal Windows App in VS2015 (C#, XAML).
I have an AppBarButton on a RelativePanel, The panel's background is black.
When I move the mouse over the button (Hover), it turns black with a darkgray background, which is not visible on a dark background:
Please tell me how to change the colors for the button in all mouse states: hover, mousedown,...etc.
Thank you
You need to create custom style template for button to overwrite the hover effect and behaviour.
Please open the button in Blend by using Edit A copy and then edit its template! you might need to remove some element.
Mostly it shall be a button as the property of changing color is exhibited by a button control
I would like to implement the OneNote app menu in my own UWP app. In the closed state, the menu only shows the 'hamburger' button, but when clicked a menu pane slides in from the left.
I have tried to use the SplitView, but it doesn't allow me to set the width to 0 when collapsed, always showing a narrow line on the left side. I also considered using the 8.1 Flyout control, but that doesn't see to animate the correct way.
So, what's the correct way to implement the OneNote menu behavior?
You need the SplitView, but don't mess with the width of its pane.
Instead, set the DisplayMode to Inline (or Overlay) and toggle the IsPaneOpen property.
I'm starting with developing on Windows phone 8.1. I've been working with the different image assets for logos and tiles, but have not been able to identify the one that is displayed when you go to the list of open apps (i.e. pressing and holding the back key). In this view there is a logo of the app in the bottom-left corner that I don't know from where it comes. I'm trying to change the background color of it, but is none of the ones define in the manifest. I've seen apps that have this image with a specific background color (i.e. not transparent) like the one in the screenshot below. So, there must be a way to do it, but I'm not able to find where or how.
That would be the application icon you set in your WMAppManifest.xml. You can find this under your project's Properties folder. You can set icon from the UI (App icon) or by editing the XML block itself.
<IconPath IsRelative="true" IsResource="false">Assets\ApplicationIcon.png</IconPath>
This is the same icon that is shown in phone's app list. If image has transparency, phone's selected accent color is shown as "background". If not, well.. then it won't be transparent :).
I have created an app starting from the Grid App template (C#/XAML) of Visual Studio 2012. I'm using the Light Theme and I have customized the GridViewItem brushes so that the color blue is used when I move the mouse over an item.
Now I would like to change the foreground color of the text that is shown in the GridView when the mouse is over the item, using white to make it more readable. Is it possible, considering that the layout of GridView items is defined in a DataTemplate?
Here is an blog post which demonstrates styling of GridViewItem.
I created a live tile, but I don't know how to change the background color. This is Windows 8 and C#.
The Background color of the Tile is defined in manifest configuration of your app.
You can change the color of your tile in Package.appxmanifest "Tile>Background Color"
