ExpressionBlend has a trial version and is useful for these type of things: http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/blend_overview.aspx I recommend that you download it so you can edit templates on any control (not necessarily ours) 🙂

If I had expression, I would be able to copy the xaml for the basic navigation and modify it from Visual Studio.  However, I don't have expression.  If you have expresion and have the xaml code for the basic navigation, would you please attach the code to this post?

Thanks!

Found the xaml code for navigation at esri source code:
