Change background linear gradient Button style - wpf

I want to change Button's background linear gradient color,
the maintain code if Border.Background,
for Case 1
to impletenment must fix as follow
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlLightColor}" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlLightColor}" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
for case 2
to impletenment must fix as follow
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlMediumColor}" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlLightColor}" Offset="0.5" />
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlMediumColor}" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
How can I fix the Border.Background, to staticresource relation to
button style in xaml file
11/28 Update
I want to create 2 normal button, at the same application
how to using the key keyword to handle Border.Background.
As follow is whole code of button style

How can the colour under the Row Header in an expanded DataGrid (WPF) Row Details section be changed?

When a datagrid row is expanded to show the Row Details, is there a way to change the colour of the very left most portion, that inherits the colouring from the parent row?
i.e. this bit: Row Details
I managed to work it out. The "Main" border being used to colour the normal/alternating row cells, and then a second sub border that handles the events - in this case for Selected/MouseOver_Selected.
Note: The Cyan was because I was testing, it is not a colour scheme choice!!! :-P
EDIT:
I have added some additional code, and another Border - I am then using ControlTemplate.Triggers set on multi to preserve the alternating row colours on a standard mouseover, thereby bypassing the visual state mouseover event entirely.
The overall result is to preserves my alternating colouring at all times - except when the row is selected, at which point I am dictating the colouring for the selected row and the row details.

WPF : Custom Button

I try to edit style in wpf like this :
which allow the user design, like this
but when i try to create my own style there is chrome layer not Template and I can not create my own button, I can only modify simple value like brush , ......
Milad just remove that chrome layer and include border in the template (write your own triggers for mouseover and click):
<Border x:Name="Chrome" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
Triggers:
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Chrome" Value="Blue"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#ADADAD"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
Very detailed canonical example of WPF Button control styling via XAML is provided in Micrsoft MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms753328%28v=vs.110%29.aspx):

What you need to do is set the brush to something like a solidcolorbrush object. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.solidcolorbrush.aspx
The constructor takes a color object.
The following code works, but I had to do this:
Uri uri2 = new Uri("/Resources/DayModeTab2.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
ResourceDictionary resDict2 = Application.LoadComponent(uri2) as ResourceDictionary;
//Make some changes
MobileApp.Get().Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(resDict2);
And also my poor naming scheme caused conflicts since I have Brush0 in 2 xaml files.

How to reset a silverlight control's visual state back to "Normal" on change of visibility

I have a problem with a button control with rolloever effect. I am collapsing the button on click and later it becomes visible again, but the Mouse Hover state doesn't change back to Normal when the button becomes visible. However the issue can be resolved by changing the visual state in code but I w'd like to know if there is a way to do it in the control template?
Here is my template:
<Style x:Key="replayButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF1F3B53"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF000000"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="3"/>

<GradientStop Color="#FF718597" Offset="0.375"/>
