Can Item Selection Checkbox for CollectionView be revealed by applying XAML Style on WinUI?

Question

The item selection checkboxes for CollectionView are not visible as they should on WinUI (see screenshot below).

I noticed a similar visibility issue for the navigation BackButton which I got solved through XAML styling, thanks to @Rob Caplan - MSFT .

Although the checkboxes are not clearly visible, the selected/unselected logic for list items works as expected.

Can the selection checkboxes be revealed by tweaking with XAML Style, and if so how?

Hello,

Please check ListViewItemBackgroundSelected, ListViewItemBackgroundPressed, ListViewItemBackgroundSelectedPointerOver and ListViewItemBackgroundSelectedPressed in Windows UI Library, and set other colors. Try to add the following code in App.xaml under Platforms/ Windows :

<maui:MauiWinUIApplication.Resources>  
  
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ListViewItemBackgroundSelected" Color="Red" />  
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ListViewItemBackgroundPressed"  Color="Red" />  
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ListViewItemBackgroundPointerOver"  Color="Red" />  
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ListViewItemBackgroundSelectedPointerOver"  Color="Red" />  
         
    </maui:MauiWinUIApplication.Resources>  

Best Regards,
