- Not long ago I wrote a blog post about Responsive Pivot Headers in Universal Windows Platform apps.

It's a great question and I'm sorry I didn't cover this part so the pivot looks more like the example image. An omission I want to correct with this blog post.Highlight your Selected Pivot Header in a Universal Windows Platform app
