You need to make changes to this part (see the full template at the bottom of the message) This example makes a thicker red move:
`<Style x: Key =" ExpanderHeaderFocusVisual ">
<Setter Property = "Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border>
<Rectangle Margin = "0" SnapsToDevicePixels = "true" Stroke = "Red" StrokeThickness = "2" StrokeDashArray = "1 2" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style> `
This is the original template for the expander, shot by Blend - it will be automatically applied to all expanders in this window.
