I have been messing around with datagrid styling for a couple of days now, and I am having one issue left which I can not seem to solve.
I want to highligt the text of the row on which I hover with the mouse. Well this seems like an easy task, but at the same time I want custom selection color of the row background and foreground. This combination seems impossible for me to solve.
If I override the datagridrow style I can get everything but the selection style on the row. If I also override the datagridcell style, I can get everything but the mouseover foreground full row highlight. What I have below is complete styling I have come up with so far. I know it contains duplicate attributes for the same tasks, but I have been trying everything. Only the complete row mouseover highlight is missing - only the hovered cell is highlighted.
Can you help me solve this tiny detail?
Put the below code in a WPF Window (I know the coloring is awful, they are just for the example):

Put the below xml in a file called "datagrid.xml" in the same solution:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Data>
<Person Firstname="Fred"
Lastname="Flintstone">
</Person>
<Person Firstname="Barney"
Lastname="Rubble">
</Person>
<Person Firstname="Joe"
Lastname="Rockhead">
</Person>
</Data>
Thank you...
