Question

I am trying to make a simple resource dictionary for styles but the Background property is throwing an “Invalid Token”. Setting the background directly in the property works fine. Here is an example using a button style:

<Style x:Key="ExampleButton"
       TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="Background"
            Value="DarkGrey" />
    <Setter Property="Width"
            Value="100" />
    <Setter Property="Height"
            Value="30" />
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
                 Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Background"
                    Value="Grey" />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Answer 1

i think the value need to be Value=”Gray” and not Value=”Grey”

or try to set your own “Shade of Gray”, Value=”#B2AFAF”
