Padding in a list box

Answer 1

I can't see the image because of a proxy issue, but I think you just need to set the background of the container:

<ListBox>
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>

If you want the selection highlight to show outside the padded area, just set the Background back to null in the child container.
