Windows Phone 7 dev: How highlight selection of ListBox

I have this code in my .xaml file

<ListBox Name="Tracks" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding AllTracks}">
                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Width="432" Height="150">
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Artist}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="12,-3,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>

                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Album}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="12,3,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Duration}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="12,6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            </ListBox>

I put data in my list like that(MediaLibrary library = new MediaLibrary(); Tracks.ItemsSource = library.Songs;). I can see data on my list but when i select something, the selection doesn't highlighted, how i can fix it? Thanks...

Here: Windows Phone 7 - Setting style for specific control within selected ListBoxItem I've written a bit in response to a similar problem. Please read at least the original post/problem and my answer to it. It may look overwhelming at first as there's not a small amount of extra XAML, but in fact it is quite easy to follow and once you look at it as a several different aspects (template, styles, visualstates) - it turns out to be .. quite short, paradoxically. Once you read through it, you will probably notice that your problem is almost exactly the same, with the minor difference that the 'animated' property/target from foreground of textbox to a background of the panel..

The phone applies the Accent colour as Foreground to the selected element's VisualTree. But since you're overriding the style for all the elements, it's likely that the colour won't be applied.

Try with a regular TextBlock without any Style, and you'll see.
