WPF ListView look-and-feel for WPF ListBox items

Add the following XAML snippet to your XAML resource section and you will get WPF ListBox items with the same look-and-feel as the items in a WPF ListView. Much nicer I think than the ListBox default.

Plain and Boring

Gradient and Nice Looking

<lineargradientbrush x:key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" 
           endpoint="0,1" startpoint="0,0" xmlns:x="#unknown">
  <gradientstop color="#FFD9F4FF" offset="0" />
  <gradientstop color="#FF9BDDFB" offset="1" />
