Hi oistrez,



You are using an \"ItemTemplate\" (btw why ist the XAML not correct in you example = lowercase itemtemplate...)

So this is what controls the \"inside\" of you TabPage header.



You use just a TextBlock here - so you could set it’s Height just by Controlling the DataTemplate

like this

Another way would be to directly manipulate the ControlTemplate that is behind an TabItem (I hope you know how to generate them in VS -if you don’t see them in your Code base?)

So as example the one I get for the default (Windows-Theme) TabItem

                            </Border>

                        </Grid>

You see the ContentPresenter which is responsable for showing the Header - you could replace this with anything you want...



I hope this helps,



Kind regards
