Question

The default background color of a selected row in DataGrid is so dark that I can’t read it. Is there anyway of overriding it?

Tried this

<dg:DataGrid.RowStyle>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridRow}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True" >
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gainsboro" />
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</dg:DataGrid.RowStyle>

But still nothing…

Got it. Add the following within the DataGrid.Resources section:

  <DataGrid.Resources>
     <Style TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridCell}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="dg:DataGridCell.IsSelected" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="#CCDAFF" />
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</DataGrid.Resources>
