Listview selection color

I want to do something similar. I want to put a border around an a li

Change the ItemContainerStyle on the ListView to a style that doesn't change the background when an item is selected but instead changes the color of a border. Below is an example:

  <Style x:Key="MyListViewItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
     <Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding SourceType, Converter={StaticResource SourceGroupConverter}}" />
     <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
           <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
              <Border
                 x:Name="Border"
                 BorderBrush="Transparent"
                 BorderThickness="1"
                 Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                 <GridViewRowPresenter Columns="{TemplateBinding GridView.ColumnCollection}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
              </Border>
              <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                 <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
                    <Setter TargetName="Border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black"/>
                 </Trigger>
              </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
           </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
     </Setter>
  </Style>

And then use the style like this:

<ListView ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource MyListViewItemStyle}">
   ...
</ListView>
