Is there a way to use the old style? I’d like to use this new release, but it has broken my UI

You should be able to take the old XAML version, give that style a name, and specify that in your grid.

I see, this release still have a lot of issues, and there are new: now the grid is all transparent... why? and still ignore RowBackground and AlternatingRowBackground... now I had to add Background="#FFF" to have it white.

I've made a PR over at #1350. The following now works:

            <ui:DataGrid
                Height="400"
                AlternatingRowBackground="#eeeeee"
                ItemsSource="{Binding ViewModel.ProductsCollection, Mode=TwoWay}"
                RowBackground="#dddddd" />
