I am using a simple button in WPF.
I have put an image for the button on background. My problem is, when i move mouse pointer to button it get a default glow and override the image given as background.
I need to retain the button as it.

   <Button.Background >

If someone doesn't want to override default Control Template then here is the solution.

You can create DataTemplate for button which can have TextBlock and then you can write Property trigger on IsMouseOver property to disable mouse over effect. Height of TextBlock and Button should be same.



        <Button Background="Black" Margin="0" Padding="0" BorderThickness="0" Cursor="Hand" Height="20">
                        <Button.ContentTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBlock Text="GO" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextDecorations="Underline" Margin="0" Padding="0" Height="20">
                                    <TextBlock.Style>
                                        <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                                            <Style.Triggers>
                                                <Trigger Property ="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                                                    <Setter Property= "Background" Value="Black"/>
                                                </Trigger>
                                            </Style.Triggers>
                                        </Style>
                                    </TextBlock.Style>
                                </TextBlock>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Button.ContentTemplate>
                    </Button>

Another really quick and dirty workaround to disable glowing is to set

Focusable="False"

You can Apply this style to your "Play" button..

XML

<Style x:Key="ButtonStyleNoHighlighting" TargetType="Button">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                    <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                        <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                            <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
                                <VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
                                <VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
                            </VisualStateGroup>
                        </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

Hope this will help you
