Styling SelectedItem in ListView in Metro XAML Application

I'm having trouble adjusting the style of the selected item in the Metro app list.

I created a DataTemplate for an element that has a TextBlock whose color I would like to change. I tried many things from WPF, but they are not available for the metro, such as DataTemplate.Triggers, Style.Triggers and so on. I also tried to make a copy of the ItemContainerStyle template, but since it uses ContentPresenter to display my DataTemplate, I did not know what to change in order to achieve what I want. The same thing happened with the value converter, since I did not know how to use the RelativeSource to supply the converter with the IsSelected ListBoxItem property ....

Thanks for the help!

You are absolutely right to change ItemContainerStyle. If you are in Visual Studio or Blend, right-click on the ListView and select

Change additional templates → Edit created container of elements [ItemContainerStyle] → Change copy

It is important that the "Edit Current" is not turned on. If so, find this template and delete it (it may be an empty template and you need a full template).

This will create a style for the ListViewItem. ListViewItem has many controls inside it, and most of them deal with Selection or other states. You will want to make changes to SelectedVisualState.
