I am new to Windows phone 8.1 app development, I want to know how to customize the pivot header with properties like Font, Foreground Colour, Size, etc. I can't find any of these properties. So, hope someone will help me.
Create a Resource Dictionary ( if you don't have one )
Add-New Item-Resource Dictionary
Apply it on your App.XAML
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<!--
Styles that define common aspects of the platform look and feel
Required by Visual Studio project and item templates
-->
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/Style/CustomStyle.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Add this template to your Resource Dictionary

<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>

I'm using following code for my windows phone app, Brain Lightener. It should work :)
<phone:Pivot Foreground="#4b240a" FontFamily="Comic Sans MS">
<phone:Pivot.Title>
<TextBlock Text="Brain Lightener" FontFamily="Comic Sans MS" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>
</phone:Pivot.Title>
<!--Pivot item one-->
<phone:PivotItem>
<phone:PivotItem.Header>
<TextBlock Text="Test" FontFamily="Comic Sans MS"></TextBlock>
</phone:PivotItem.Header>
</phone:PivotItem>
</phone:Pivot>
You don't have to change/code much for decorating your pivot page ;)

I am struggling with the issue for last three days.
I have to change particular Button background color on mouse over and Button Content should be delete, But i got issue that all button changed if i am hovering of button.
I put my design In resource dictionary
Below is my design code
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

</Button>`
and
Xaml
File with design is
and i need fix only design side not in code behind
I'm assuming by "Button background color on mouse over and Button Content should be delete" you mean that you want to change the colour and hide the content while your mouse is over the button. If so, why don't you do something like this
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="SkyBlue"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="SkyBlue"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
While it doesn't delete the content it sets the foreground and background to the same colour so it is hidden from the user.
Edited to address your comments
You seem to be trying to use a DataTrigger; as this answer suggests Triggers are ideal for making changes on things like OnMouseOver and DataTriggers are ideal for making changes on data changes. So unless I'm missing something, you should be using a Trigger not a DataTrigger.
An obvious solution to your style-variation problem is to create a default style with most of your styling in and then a second style that overrides the changing elements. In this case your second style would give it the "hide my text on mouse over" behaviour.
Your default style could be something like this
<Style x:Key="ButtonDefaultStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
And your second style could be something like this
<Style x:Key="ButtonHideTextOnMouseOverStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonDefaultStyle}" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Then you'd use them like this
<Button Content="First Button" Style="{StaticResource ButtonDefaultStyle}"/>
<Button Content="Second Button" Style="{StaticResource ButtonDefaultStyle}"/>
<Button Content="Delete" Style="{StaticResource ButtonHideTextOnMouseOverStyle}"/>
In the ButtonDefaultStyle cases the white text on a blue background is changed to blue text on a white background on mouse over. In the ButtonHideTextOnMouseOverStyle case the white text on a blue background is changed to white text on a white background on mouse over.

I think the best way is to bind the Fill on the shape to the foreground of the toggle button, which you can either do per-instance, or for all combo boxes using this control template; this solution uses the latter:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxToggleButton" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Grid DataContext="{Binding}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border x:Name="Border" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" CornerRadius="0" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="{StaticResource AlpmGray}" Background="Transparent" />
<Border Grid.Column="0" CornerRadius="0" Margin="1" Background="White"/>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding ComboPath}"/>
<Path x:Name="Arrow" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Data="M 0 0 L 4 4 L 8 0 Z" Fill="{Binding Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
</Path>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsEnabled, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource AlpmGray}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsEnabled, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource AlpmRed}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
This binds the Fill to the TemplatedParent (in this case the ToggleButton), and thus the enabled state of the button (generally tied to the parent control).
I have a WPF application that contains a datagrid. The datagrid is bound to my object OrderBlock which contains a List of type Orders.
<DataGrid DataContext="{Binding OrderBlock}"
Name="dataGridOrdersGood"
ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}"
This works fine and displays nicely in my datagrid. There is one property (StatusGood) in my List though that I would like to display as a combobox where there can be only two values, "Send" or "Hold".
If the value in the combobox is "Hold" I would like the row to turn different colour. Ideally using a linear gradient going from silver to yellow. I have tried the code below - literally just trying to turn the row red for the moment but nothing happens. I can't see what is wrong with my code below. The trigger part is very close to the bottom of the code below. I'm new to WPF and struggling with it at the moment. The code below has mainly come from a very good post that can be found here, http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/586132/WPF-DataGrid-Custommization-using-Style-and-Templa

Do you need to change the behaviour of the DataGridRow, or is it sufficient to alter the style?
If changing the row highlighting based on a property is all you need, you should be able to just use a simpler Style, something like this:
<!-- A brush -->
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="BgBrush1" StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
<GradientStop Offset="0" Color="#888888"/>
<GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#FFFFF86E"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<!-- Your row style -->
<Style x:Key="HighlightRow" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StatusGood}" Value="Hold">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BgBrush1}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
You should be able to apply the style when required in a DataGrid by using your style as a StaticResource for the RowStyle property:
<DataGrid DataContext="{Binding OrderBlock}"
Name="dataGridOrdersGood"
ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}"
RowStyle="{StaticResource HighlightRow}" />
Edit:
If you want to retain the rest of your styling and use a control template, you can place your DataTrigger in your ControlTemplate.Triggers, you'll also have to supply a TargetName property, to specify the element you wish the trigger to act on, so using my above brush, and your initial code:
<!-- Data grid formatting Grid Row template -->
<Style x:Key="DG_Row" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<!-- Your code -->
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Border x:Name="DGR_Border"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<!-- Your code -->
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StatusGood}" Value="Send">
<Setter TargetName="DGR_Border" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BgBrush1}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Where DGR_Border is the name you had given your border with the existing gradient.
I'm new to WPF and have been looking at a lot of articles and videos but I've been unable to find a solution. What I have is a button which displays an image and text within a stackpanel. I would like to make ONLY the textblock move one pixel to the right and down when the button is pressed but I cant seem to figure out a way to target only the TextBlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

Just use a TranslateTransform animation. make sure to use RenderTransform and not LayoutTransform as LayoutTransform will actually change the Layout which might not be desirable when the parent of your TextBlock and Image is a StackPanel
So in your Style if I switch the ControlTemplate definition to:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type localUI:ImageButton}">
<Border x:Name="Border"
Background="White"
BorderBrush="LightGray"
BorderThickness="1">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ibTextBlock"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X)">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="5" />
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ibTextBlock"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="5" />
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled" />
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<StackPanel x:Name="Panel"
Height="Auto"
Background="Transparent"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Name="ibImage"
Width="Auto"
Height="Auto"
Margin="5"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor"
RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased"
Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"
Stretch="None" />
<TextBlock x:Name="ibTextBlock"
Margin="5,0,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="12"
FontWeight="Bold"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
Text="{TemplateBinding Content}">
<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform />
<SkewTransform />
<RotateTransform />
<TranslateTransform />
</TransformGroup>
</TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
...
you should get what you're after.
Note
In both the Animation steps I've set
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="5" />
you can change the Value to "1" or whatever you desire.
You could change the Margin-Property of your TextBlock with the same trigger that changes the BorderBrush.
Say you set Margin = "2,2,2,2" initially, and then you set it to "3,2,1,2" when the button is pressed.
Your TextBlock will 'move' by 1/96 inch (usually, you don't pixel in WPF).
You can also use negative margins, if needed.
