Windows Phone Listpicker Selected Item not highlighted in FullScreen mode

Question

I am using the Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit in my Windows Phone 8 project. There is this control named list picker which is the substitute for the conventional dropdownlist control in windows phone. When the number of items in the list is more than 5 the list picker automatically opens into a full screen page which is quite useful as a built in functionality. The problem I have here is that in full screen mode the selected item never gets highlighted as in the case of normal expanded mode. Is there any solution to this other than restricting the listpicker from going to full screen mode(I've already tried that but it is not at all advisable for long lists like list of countries,states etc.)?

You can also create two template:one for selected item and other for rest of them. If current item is selected than you can assign template accordingly.

You can assign your template here:

<toolkit:ListPicker 
    x:Name="ddlMode" 
    FullModeItemTemplate="Give your templete selector">
</toolkit:ListPicker>
