Change background of title and header in pivot control <p>In my Phone 7 application, I'm using a pivot control. Now I'd like to change the background of its title and header area. How can I achieve this?</p> <p>Is there an overall template for the pivot control that can be customized?</p> <p>I've already tried to set the background of the grid containing the pivot control to the header color and then to set the background of each pivot item to the original background color. It looks good on first sight. But when you wipe the pivot item to the left to display the second item, an area colored in the header color appears between the two pivot items. So that approach is not working.</p> <p>Furthermore I've tried to customize the template of the title and the header item. But these templates only cover the area of the text itself, not the whole header and template area.</p>
