Remove Highlight Effect from ListViewItem

I don't know if this is the only solution but I did it as follows (by setting the Template property of the ListViewItems):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />        <Setter Property="Template">            <Setter.Value>                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">                    <Border                         BorderBrush="Transparent"                         BorderThickness="0"                         Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">                        <GridViewRowPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Width="Auto" Margin="0" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>                    </Border>                </ControlTemplate>            </Setter.Value>        </Setter>    </Style></ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

EDIT:

Or as Grant Winney suggests (I did not test that myself):

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />        <Setter Property="Template">            <Setter.Value>                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">                    <ContentPresenter />                </ControlTemplate>            </Setter.Value>        </Setter>    </Style></ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

This work:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">  <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" /><Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/><Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/><Setter Property="Template">    <Setter.Value>        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">            <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">                <Border Name="Selection" Visibility="Collapsed" />                <!-- This is used when GridView is put inside the ListView -->                <GridViewRowPresenter Grid.RowSpan="2"                                      Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"                                      HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"                                      VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"                                      SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>            </Grid>        </ControlTemplate>    </Setter.Value></Setter>

For me, worked well, like this:

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>  <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">    <Style.Triggers>      <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />      </Trigger>    </Style.Triggers>  </Style></ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
