Hi Lisa,
Thanks for using Syncfusion products.
1. You can achieve your requirement by setting the HighlightSelectionBackground property . For more information please refer the sample and code snippet in the following
[Code Snippet]
[C#]
dataGrid.HighlightSelectionBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.PaleGreen);
2. At present we don’t have support for mouse hover background color. This will be include in our next release(2011, Vol2).
