You have to create a style for the GridView.ColumnHeaderContainerStyle property. Add the hover effect by setting some trigger to the Style.

For example:

 <ListView VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Height="63" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView ColumnHeaderContainerStyle="{StaticResource GridViewColumnHeaderStyle1}" >
                <GridViewColumn/>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>

and the Style can be created like so:

  <Style x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
