Property Value

Type	Description
AppearanceObject	The appearance settings applied to the current NavElement rendered as a button in the nav bar, when the button is in the pressed state.

Remarks

The appearance settings specified by the AppearanceSelected property are applied to:

• An item displayed in the nav bar, when the item is pressed.
• The background of this item’s primary dropdown tile bar.
