Setting the Template Background from style

I have a style like this

<Style x:Key="LeavesStyle" TargetType="{x:Type dxe:ListBoxEditItem}">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue" />//Not Working
            <Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}">
            </Setter>
        </Style>

and my Template

<ControlTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type dxe:ListBoxEditItem}">
            <Border x:Name="rootBorder" BorderThickness="0,0,0,1" BorderBrush="{dxi:ThemeResource ThemeKey={dxgt:GridRowThemeKey ResourceKey=GridDataRowDelimiterBrush}}">

How can I access the rootBorder from Background from style? to set the rootBorders Background

I know I can do like this <Setter TargetName="rootBorder" Property="Background" Value="Orange" />

The Background property is not applied automatically to your border. You need to link the borders background to the background property of your control. You can do that using a TemplateBinding:

 <ControlTemplate>
     <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" />
 </ControlTemplate>

Changing the Background property of the control in your style will now change the background of your item.

One possibility would be to override the controltemplate in style and add the border in it

You can see a similiar solutiom here: WPF ListView Style Borders
