ListView default border only on top

[JVimes]

Describe the bug
By default, the ListView has only a top border. It seems like it should either have none, or uniform all around.

To Reproduce

If you remove BorderThickness="0" from the ListView in the demo app, you can see.

Expected behavior
It seems like it should either have no border, or have uniform border all around by default.

Screenshots

Environment(please complete the following information):

• MahApps.Metro version v1.6.5

• .NET Framework 4.6.2

Ideally, a ListView has a GridView/Headers, and then a top border makes sense because else the column separators just look stupid (IMO). If you want to use the ListView like that, just use a ListBox (which doesn't have this border).

I haven't used it much, but it doesn't sound right that ListView would have styling to support just one of it's possible views. Views other than GridView can be used, and they might not have headers (or their headers won't require a line). Let me know if I'm missing something.

[Anapher]

Which different view than a GridView are you using? Yes, it is possible to move that line to the GridViewColumnHeader Template, but I don't think it's worth the effort and has other issues like a much more difficult configuration (you cannot modify it with BorderThickness anymore). If you really need this default, just create a global Style in your app

<Style TargetType="ListView" BasedOn="{StaticResource MetroListView}">
   <Setter Property="BorderThickness"  Value="0" />
</Style>

It's a valid report of a design flaw. It's not top priority, but that's what backlogs are for.
