How could I make the tabitem(header) border in alignment with the content part. Below I put the item header in grid. I've attached a picture. There's some tiny space at left. The same thing to the top part. I want it to be filled.
<Grid>
<TabControl Margin="10" BorderThickness="2" Background="LightGray" Padding="0">
<TabControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TabItem">
<Grid Name="Panel">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
ContentSource="Header"
Margin="30,3"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Panel" Property="Background" Value="LightSkyBlue" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="Panel" Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</TabControl.Resources>
<TabItem Header="General">
<Label Content="Content goes here..." />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Security" />
<TabItem Header="Details" />
</TabControl>
</Grid>
Default template of TabItem have margin of -1 but in your case you have border thickness of 2 set. So margin of -2 should work for you.
Set margin on Grid:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TabItem">
<Grid Name="Panel" Margin="-2,-2,-2,0">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
ContentSource="Header"
Margin="30,3"/>
</Grid>
.....
Set the margin for the TabItem instead of Tab
<TabItem Header="General", Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
Set the margin for the TabItem to 0, this will override the default margin and work as per your requirements

I have a TabControl with a bunch of TabItems.
Between the TabItem's header and the content of the TabItem, I would like to have a distance of 15px.
I tried the TabItem's Padding property and set it to (0,15,0,0). But that didn't work.
I have tried to to set the TabItem's Template property but couldn't figure out how to set the distance.
The only solution I have found is to set a margin on the first control in the TabItem.
But I don't like that solution due to I have to implement that in each TabItem.
I would like a solution in a style so I can reuse the style for each TabItem instead.
Code
(Just copy-paste into a Window)
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TabControl BorderThickness="0">
<TabControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}" x:Key="TabItemStyle">

<!-- TabItem 1-->
<TabItem Style="{DynamicResource TabItemStyle}"
Header="Tab 1">
<!-- Notice the margin -->
<Grid Margin="0,15,0,0"
Background="Lime" />
</TabItem>
<-- TabItem 2-->
<TabItem Style="{DynamicResource TabItemStyle}"
Header="Tab 2">
<Grid Background="Red" />
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
</Border>
If you select the Tab 1 you will notice a distance of 15px between the blue line in the header and the green Grid.
If you select the Tab 2 you will not see a distance between the blue line and the red grid.
Is there a better way to include the distance of 15px into the style in someway?
Can't you simply add a bottom margin to the Border element in the ControlTemplate?:
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Border x:Name="Chrome"
BorderBrush="Blue"
Background="Transparent"
Margin="0,0,0,15">

HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>

<Trigger Property="Selector.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Chrome" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,3"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Selector.IsSelected" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="Chrome" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>

I am trying to implement style for TabControl along with TabItem like below Images:
The Style should make below things visible:
List item
White Background for TabControl and selected TabItem with Dropshadow Effect.
When any TabItem is not selected, then the TabItem text color should turn to gray.
What I have achieved till now:
Able to divide width of TabControl to accommodate TabItem items with equal Sizes using TabSizeConverter converter.
Able to change background and with of TabControl and TabItems. But not able to achieve Dropshadow effect.
Below is my Style for TabItem:
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource color_MediumGray}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="34"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Resources/Fonts/#HelveticaNeueMed" />
<Setter Property="Width">
<Setter.Value>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource tabSizeConverter}">
`<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,` AncestorType={x:Type TabControl}}" />
<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type TabControl}}" Path="ActualWidth" />
</MultiBinding>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Border x:Name="Chrome"
BorderThickness="30,0"
BorderBrush="{StaticResource color_Transparent}"
Background="{StaticResource color_LightGray}"
Padding="0" Margin="0">
<ContentPresenter ContentSource="Header"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Selector.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Chrome" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter TargetName="Chrome" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource color_White}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource color_Purple}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
If anyone can help me acheving TabControl with such style would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
The Style should make below things visible:
List Item
White Background for TabControl and selected TabItem with Dropshadow Effect.
When any TabItem is not selected, then the TabItem text color should turn to gray.
I suppose this is just a typo?
Set TabControl.Background to white, set the drop shadow effect on the TabControl, set TabControl.BorderThickness to zero, set TabItem.Background and TabItem.BorderBrush to white, do not change TabItem.BorderThickness. For the tab header alignment, an easy fix for the TabPanel.Margin is usage of negative margin for selected tabs.
Set TextBlock.Foreground on Chrome instead of playing with TabItem.Foreground in the template triggers.
Generally note that I replaced your color constants with system color names for my testing. Also I didn't bother to re-solve the tab item width issue and instead assigned them a static width. Oh, and I used default fonts instead of your font resource :)

I have a TabControl containing TabItems. I overwrote their ItemTemplate to contain:
A TextBlock showing the caption of the TabItem
A Button (X) which closes the tab
Now I would like to make the "X"-Button only visible, when the TabItem is either selected or the mouse is over it.
This is my XAML code so far...
<TabControl x:Name="tabControl"
ItemsSource="{Binding OpenedItems}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Name="grid" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TabCaption}"
Grid.Column="0"
Foreground="White"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="3"
Name="label_TabTitle"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button Content="X"
Grid.Column="1"
Foreground="White"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Margin="3"
Name="button_close"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Width="20"
Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}"
Visibility="Hidden"
Click="button_close_Click_1">
</Button>
</Grid>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" >

</ContentPresenter>
</Grid>

With the Trigger inside the DataTemplate it kind of works.. but: you have to hover the mouse directly over the Label in order to show the button. So basically, it is impossible to click the button, because it disappears again.
I would appreciate any help with these WPF Templates!
Thanks, Christian
It looks as though your TabItem does not have the background set so it is not catching the MouseOverEvent. Since the TextBlock has the foreground set and has text, it captures the MouseOverEvent. Try setting the Background child grid of the DataTemplate to Transparent and you should see that the MouseOverEvent will be caught and show the close button.
<TabControl x:Name="tabControl" ItemsSource="{Binding OpenedItems}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Name="grid" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="Transparent">
...
</Grid>
...
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
...
</TabControl>
If you set opacity instead of visibility it works. Removed all references to Visibility, changed to Opacity:
You may want to check my code edit. Not 100% sure it's a duplicate of what you had, but the idea works. Why? Not sure. :) I'm guessing the Hidden-Button was swallowing the MouseEnter events, but refusing to pass them on because it was hidden.

I have bumped into a problem to which I am seeking the solution.
I have a tabControl with styles added to it.
I want to display only images on each TabItem.Header and when that tab is selected then hide the image from header and display text (the other, inactive headers will be showing images).
Can anybody provide any help?

You can actually do this without replacing the whole ControlTemplate on the TabItem. You can just alter the TabItem's HeaderTemplate when the TabItem is selected, making your Style a lot shorter:
<DataTemplate x:Key="SelectedHeaderTemplate" >
<ContentControl Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=TabItem},
Path=Tag}" />
</DataTemplate>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate" Value="{StaticResource SelectedHeaderTemplate}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I have wpf Expander control and I want change background color of Header when I do mouse over on it.
Here is my control:
<Expander Margin="0" ExpandDirection="Right">
<Expander.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Image Source="placeholder_imageObject.png" Stretch="Uniform" Margin="6,0,0,0" Width="36" Height="36" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<ContentPresenter Content="Image" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="5,0,0,0"/>
<Path Data="{StaticResource RightArrowGeometry}" Fill="Black" Margin="14,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center">

</StackPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<Grid Margin="10,0,0,0" Background="White">
<controls:SymbolController x:Name="dgSymbolControl">
</controls:SymbolController>
</Grid>
</Expander>
Pls Help
thanks

U can give your StackPanel within in your "Expander.Header" an Style with Trigger like this:
<Style x:Key="MyCustomStackPanelStyle" TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
