WPF: adding Style to a slider - wpf

Question

I am using a Slider and putting a style element over it as follows... But however, I am not able to figure out why the style is not getting reflected. The RepeatButtons are not still visible.
Thanks in advance

here is your problem!
<Style x:Key="{x:Type Slider}" TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
to apply to all sliders, you should change to this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
to only apply to a certain slider, should change the x:Key to something like "MySliderStyle" and then, in the XAML where you declare your slider:
<Slider Style="{StaticResource MySliderStyle}"/>
