When I start an app there's no Item selected on the menu. Tho I'm starting on the main page. How do I make it so its background changed to select like? For now only when I reselect this menu item its background color gets as I want it to be. This code isn't mine but I cant contact the original developer. If anyone needs any additional info please comment. Thank you in advance.

            return _pageViewModels;
        }

You must initialize the SelectedMenuItem property from the constructor. For example:

public GeneralViewModel()
{
    Menu = new List<MenuItem>()
    {
        new MenuItem(){Item = "НОВОСТИ", IsEnabled = true},
        new MenuItem(){Item = "СЕРВЕРА", IsEnabled = true},
        new MenuItem(){Item = "ПАРАМЕТРЫ", IsEnabled = true}
    };

    // Pre-select a default menu item
    SelectedMenuItem = Menu[0];

    ...
}
