Question

Well i guess im missing something here..

Any way im trying to make a metro style wpf theme, so i started with this:

<Color x:Key="PrimaryColor">#8CBF26</Color>
<Color x:Key="TextColor">White</Color>
<Color x:Key="BackgroundColor">Black</Color>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PrimaryBrush" Color="{StaticResource ResourceKey=PrimaryColor}" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ForgroundBrush" Color="{StaticResource ResourceKey=TextColor}" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="BackgroundBrush" Color="{StaticResource ResourceKey=BackgroundColor}" />

<FontFamily x:Key="FontFamily">Segoe WP, Segoe UI, Lucida Sans Unicode, Verdana</FontFamily>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BackgroundBrush}" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Run}">
    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource FontFamily}" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource ForgroundBrush}" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource FontFamily}" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource ForgroundBrush}" />
</Style>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BackgroundBrush}"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource ForgroundBrush}"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource ForgroundBrush}"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
    <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="1"/>
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                <Border x:Name="border" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" >
                    <ContentPresenter Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" 
                                      SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" 
                                      VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                                      HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" />
                </Border>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ForgroundBrush}" />
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BackgroundBrush}" />
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

Well this works great for all but the trigger the Foreground property is never modified, my guess is that styled the TextBlock already so it cant override its forecolor is there any workaround for this problem??

Thanks

Edit: The TextBlock style is applied inside the ControlTemplate of the Button somehow overriding its own style. Not sure what to do about it.

Works for me, did you set a Foreground on the Button instance? If so that would override the trigger due to precedence.
