Styling a ListBox in SIlverlight

by mheydt 7. April 2009 23:20 >
I'm building an application to front Twitter and provide some other services to the user around Twitter.  I think it's kind of neat looking with what I've done so far, but I have a bunch of list boxes (and scrollviewers) that I think just look ugly:



I was figuring that I would want to make them look more like the scroll bars on the iPhone or in other apps I use like EventBox:



So I googled a little and came up with this, which looks to exactly fit the bill: Mark .NET: Styling a ListBox With Silverlight 2 Beta 2 (Part 2) - Scrollbars With some modifications, my app now looks like this.... 



Much Nicer!

One thing to note about the code on that site.  Don't cut and paste it from the blog pages - it does not work.  Get the actual solution that is posted and use the XAML in that as it works great.
