copied!<p>O man what a nightmare that was to find the problem. The problem is with the default template that tabcontrol uses. </p> <p><a href="https://gist.github.com/battleguard/7375100">DefaultTemplate for TabControl</a></p> <p>TabPanel itself when set to something besides stretch does not fill up anymore than it needs to in the grid. That is why the background was not showing.</p> <p>Another problem was the background of the ContentPanel was template bound to the TabControl's background. So after digging around I found that I could override the style for the grid that makes up the tabcontrol with a background and it would only fill up the first row of the grid since the second rows background was template bound.</p> <p>Hopefully that makes sense you should be able to see what I am getting at by looking at the default Template.</p> <p>Here is the actual code for it to work</p> <pre><code><TabControl> <TabControl.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Grid}"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/> </Style> <Style TargetType="{x:Type TabPanel}"> <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/> </Style> </TabControl.Resources> <TabItem Header="Test 1"/> <TabItem Header="Test 2"/> <TabItem Header="Test 3"/> <TabItem Header="Test 4"/> </TabControl> </code></pre> <p>And here is what it should look like <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5bQ4x.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
