Transparent applicationbar and virtualizing listboxes - WP7
===

I got an app with alot of views containing a listbox in each. All the views also have an applicationbar. What i wanted to do is have the appbar transparent with an opacity of 0.5 as long as its not activated, then set opacity to 0.99 as long as its activated (pulled up). I was able to do this as long as my listboxes were encapsulated in a scrollviewer. The problem is my app use alot of memory, so i had to make the listboxes virtualizing. To do this i had to remove the scrollviewers. That caused my lists to no longer be visible through the applicationbar, even though it is still transparent (i can see that). So you can see my problem: The situation now is that i have to choose between virtualizating listboxes or transparent applicationbar. Do anyone know a solution, or atleast know the explanation to why this isnt working? Thanks alot!
