WPF - Slider size - wpf

Question

I am working on an audio player which has two sliders; one serves as a timeline and the other one is for adjusting the volume. I changed the default template of the slider so the sliders look like I wanted them to look. Basically I only changed colors and created two separated styles for the THUMB part of the slider. They are called: SliderThumbStyle and SliderThumbStyleVertical. The horizontal slider works just fine. I have a problem with the vertical slider. It isn't the size that it's supposed to be. I've tried setting the height property in my MainWindow but this doesn't work (changing the width property of the horizontal slider works though).
My edited template looks like (in App.xaml):
<Style x:Key="SliderButtonStyle"
TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels"
Value="true" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle"
Value="true" />
<Setter Property="IsTabStop"
Value="false" />
<Setter Property="Focusable"
Value="false" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RepeatButton}">
<Border Background="Transparent" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<!-- SLIDER THUMB STYLE VERTICAL-->

And the xaml for my two sliders looks like:
<Slider Height="22" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Minimum="0" Maximum="100" Focusable="False" LargeChange="0" Thumb.DragCompleted="slider1_DragCompleted" Margin="16,103,0,0" Name="slider1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="469" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" />
<Slider Width="20" Height="52" Minimum="0" Maximum="100" Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="325,41,0,0" Name="slider2" VerticalAlignment="Top" ValueChanged="slider2_ValueChanged" />

I couldn't completely understand what the output you want but just use this below statement and see is that what you expect. If not please excuse me and if you can provide some more information may be i can help you out.
<Slider
Minimum="0"
Maximum="100"
Focusable="False"
LargeChange="0"
Thumb.DragCompleted="slider1_DragCompleted"
Margin="16,103,0,0"
Name="slider1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Slider
Minimum="0"
Maximum="100"
Orientation="Vertical"
Margin="325,0,0,0"
Name="slider2"
ValueChanged="slider2_ValueChanged" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
