WPF button problem with style - wpf

Question

I have to create a custom styled button. The problem is that although i change everything when mouseovering it or when it has focus it gets the original colors!
Tried to set FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}" but it keeps doing it....
<Button Content="Button" Height="143" Margin="85,76,190,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}" Background="#FFE9D7D7"/>
what can i do?

Answer 1

The visuals you are seeing may be coming from the default control template, which includes window chrome. You may want to try creating a custom template for the button, which will give you full controls of the visual elements.

Answer 2

The default button template is the overriding your style. so you have crete your own control template for the button. Here is one example.
<Style x:Key="InformButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Verdana"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="11px"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
<!--<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource MyFocusVisual}" />-->
<Setter Property="Background" >
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1" >
<GradientStop Color="#FFFFD190" Offset="0.2"/>
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.85"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFFFD190" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="1"
Padding="4,2"
BorderBrush="DarkGray"
CornerRadius="3"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid >
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="contentShadow"
>
<ContentPresenter.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform X="1.0" Y="1.0" />
</ContentPresenter.RenderTransform>
</ContentPresenter>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="content"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF4788c8" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF4788c8" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" >
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1" >
<GradientStop Color="#FFFFD190" Offset="0.35"/>
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.95"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFFFD190" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter TargetName="content" Property="RenderTransform" >
<Setter.Value>
<TranslateTransform Y="1.0" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="Opacity" Value="0.7" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

Even though you defined a custom style, the button still inherits some properties from the default style if you didn't set them in your custom style. So you have two options:
set OverridesDefaultStyle to true on the button so that it doesn't inherit the default style
set the background/border/foreground brushes explicitly in the custom style
