Remove Highlight Effect from ListViewItem

Question

In a ListView there are ListviewItems where they must not change appearance when the mouse is over them or they are selected.

I tried to accomplish that with this style and did somewhat succeed:

<Style x:Key="ItemContainerStyle1" TargetType="ListViewItem">     <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>     <Style.Triggers>         <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">             <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />             <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />             <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" />         </Trigger>     </Style.Triggers> </Style> 

But the it raised a new issue. When the background is set to "Transparent" I am now able to see this hover/glossy effect that is shown at the picture below, when the mouse is over a list view item.

I have tried to solve the problem with this attempt, but with no luck.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">     <Style.Resources>       <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="#00000000"/>       <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="#00000000"/>     </Style.Resources> </Style> 

Anyone have an idea how to remove this hover effect?

I don't know if this is the only solution but I did it as follows (by setting the Template property of the ListViewItems):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>     <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">         <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />         <Setter Property="Template">             <Setter.Value>                 <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">                     <Border                          BorderBrush="Transparent"                          BorderThickness="0"                          Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">                         <GridViewRowPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Width="Auto" Margin="0" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>                     </Border>                 </ControlTemplate>             </Setter.Value>         </Setter>     </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

EDIT:

Or as Grant Winney suggests (I did not test that myself):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>     <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">         <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />         <Setter Property="Template">             <Setter.Value>                 <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">                     <ContentPresenter />                 </ControlTemplate>             </Setter.Value>         </Setter>     </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
