There is the code I generate the button style. I would like to change the borderbrush to YellowGreen during mouseover, but it seems no effected. Would some to show me what's wrong with the code? There is my code.

Windows Phone does not really have mouse over.
Remember,on the phone, you don't have a mouse. What is it you are trying to do (in other words, what's the equivalent of mouse over you are trying to mimick on the phone?)
[Usually people interact with the emulator through by using the mouse, but of course there is no equivalent on the phone itself, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to support it]
A mouse moves a cursor in an undefined area, thus, it needs to stay grounded on a floor to keep track of a location in the screen that increases or decreases according to the created horizontal or vertical delta.
Touch screens in general are designed to pick and choose locations in an area that is already defined. You don't 'seek' a location with a walking mouse, you already 'know' it. And when you move your finger on your screen, it's to trigger gesture events based on a delta, not to move a cursor based on this delta.

I don't know if I named the question right but here it is
First of all I am very new to Blend and never used it before in my life. I decided to make a simple animation today and things happened but not as expected.
I'm animating a button and the animation is just a simple 360 degrees flip on the Y axis. I created the animation for a specific button. It worked exactly how I wanted with this code
TiltAnimation.Begin();
However when I tried to create a ControlTemplate with this animation this happened. I need to click and hold the button in order for the animation to finish. I set the animation to play on a specific state: 'Pressed' (to be more specific it was pressed -> * which I suppose means 'from pressed state to any state'). Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something
Note: I'm experimenting on the windows phone platform.

I am creating Windows Store App. I use callisto library for create flyout in settings. I have problem with styling buttons. When I mouse over the background and font becomes white...
See the picture (mouse is over second button):
This is my XAML file:
<UserControl
x:Class="Pomidoro.PomidoroUserControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Pomidoro"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300"
d:DesignWidth="400">
<Grid>
<StackPanel x:Name="FlyoutContent">
<Button
Name="ChoosePomidoroButton"
Click="ChoosePomidoroButton_Click"
Content="Choose pomidoro image..."
Background="LightGray"
Foreground="Black"
BorderBrush="Black"
/>
<Button
Name="DefaultPomidoroButton"
Click="DefaultPomidoroButton_Click"
Content="Set default pomidoro image"
Background="LightGray"
Foreground="Black"
BorderBrush="Black"
/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
And this is how I create flyout in App.xaml.cs:
// Add an Pomidoro settings
var pomidoro = new SettingsCommand("pomidoro", "Pomidoro image", (handler) =>
{
var settings = new SettingsFlyout();
settings.Content = new PomidoroUserControl();
settings.HeaderText = "Pomidoro";
settings.IsOpen = true;
});
args.Request.ApplicationCommands.Add(pomidoro);
When I tried use default styles...
<Button
Name="DefaultPomidoroButton"
Click="DefaultPomidoroButton_Click"
Content="Set default pomidoro image"
/>
...background, border and foreground was white...and user was unable to see anything.
What should I do to apply default style to have gray button (as it is in many apps in Store)?
The problem is that the default button style uses a white foreground and border brush, and a transparent background brush when your application is using the dark theme. On a Page, the default button style looks just fine:
On the content pane of the Callisto SettingsFlyout, however, the button is invisible, because the content pane's Background is white. You must have noticed this since you're setting the Foreground and Background properties of the button manually in your UserControl.
A solution is to define a new style for buttons on the SettingsFlyout, working off of the default button template to do so. The default styles are located here on an 64-bit machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\WinRT\Xaml\Design
I found the default style for the Button control in default.xaml in this folder.
First, I copied over this default style into a new resource dictionary. I set up App.xaml to reference this new resource dictionary like this:
<!-- Add this line to your MergedDictionaries in App.xaml -->
<ResourceDictionary Source="FlyoutResources.xaml"/>
With a bit of work, I tweaked the copied-over default button style and gave it an unique key. Here is the example:
<!-- contents of FlyoutResources.xaml -->
<ResourceDictionary

The last step is to set that style on your XAML Button definitions:
<Button
Name="ChoosePomidoroButton"
Content="Choose pomidoro image..."
Style="{StaticResource flyoutButton}"
/>
<!-- etc. -->
And here is how it looks (middle button is in the hover state):
This is similar to disabling selection of a single item, however, I want to keep the item enabled (for tap, aka click event). Thus simple setting IsEnabled to false is not an option obviously. What would be a good way to achieve this?
give the class bound to the item an extra property of type bool (for example canBeSelected), handle the selectionchanged event and check if the bool is false, if it is set selecteditem to null
You can fix this using a custom style.
Usage :
<GridViewItem Style="{StaticResource NonGridViewItemStyle}">
<!-- Your content here-->
</GridViewItem>
Place this Style in a resource dictionary:
<Style x:Key="NonGridViewItemStyle"
TargetType="GridViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="GridViewItem">

The GridViewItem now doesn't show the selectionborder, but it is still selectable...
How do I change the background image of a Button on Hover and on Click? The Visual Studio's UI does not seem to provide any easy way of doing it. Currently the default behavior seems to replace my image with a solid color, which looks aweful.
All I have so far is the Button base:
<Button Content="" Height="75" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="75" HorizontalAlignment="Center" ClickMode="Press">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="../data/images/icons/skill_icon_0.png"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
I tried to handle events and manually set it, but it doesn't work for Pressed/Released:
Button skillButton = new Button();
skillButton.Width = 75;
skillButton.Height = 75;
skillButton.ClickMode = ClickMode.Press;
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
skillButton.PointerEntered +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 1);
};
skillButton.PointerExited +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
};
skillButton.PointerPressed +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 2);
};
skillButton.PointerReleased +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
if (skillButton.FocusState == FocusState.Pointer)
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 1);
else skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
};
I ended up editing the ControlTemplate just to create and change the Border. But it could be used to change the image too.
<Button Width="75" Height="75" ClickMode="Press">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border x:Name="RootElement" CornerRadius="10" BorderThickness="2">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition To="MouseOver" GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.1"/>

</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

</Border.BorderBrush>

</Border.Background>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
You're pretty much there. You can always apply a semi-transparent colour on top of your picture below your text/content but since you asked for changing the entire image, here's what you can do:
In Visual Studio 2012, if you already have a button mostly styled/configured to what you want, right click it, Edit Template -> Edit a Copy. Choose where you want to put the new style/template. It's like picking where to put the CSS. Could be in a global file (App.xaml or StandardStyle.xaml) or in the header (page resources) or inline (control resources).
The below XAML might be over-simplified and not work but it's the idea of it:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MyButton" TargetType="Button">
<Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HoverBackground"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PressedBackground"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
[...]
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="FocusStates">
[...]
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border x:Name="Border" [...]>
<Grid>
<Image Source="[...]" Stretch="None" />
<Image x:Name="HoverBackground" Source="[...]" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<Image x:Name="PressedBackground" Source="[...]" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
[...]/>
</Grid>
</Border>
[...]
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
Now you can place your 3 images in the 3 <Image> tags and since the ContentPresenter is on top, when you use the template with <Button Template="{StaticResource MyButton}">, you can still put content in and it will appear on top of your background image. Or you can just have a fully graphical button with the images too.
The windows UI XAML toolkit now has this functionality:
Image Button and Toggle Image Button
Use package manager console command "Install-Package winrtxamltoolkit" in visual studio 2012 to install the toolkit... It is really useful for many things.
Here is a style that turns visibility on and off for some extra images you add in Blend. The images are transparent and go behind the button background image by using "Send to Back" .. so in other words, you get to keep using a different background image brush for each button, plus the swapped Normal, Pointer, and Pressed images. So two background images overlaid.

Use this Code in Pointer_Entered Event on the Button and it will work :)
private void Button_PointerEntered_1(object sender, PointerEventArgs e)
{
BitmapImage bmp = new BitmapImage();
Uri u = new Uri("ms-appx:/Images/Shapes/blueball.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bmp.UriSource = u;
ImageBrush i = new ImageBrush();
i.ImageSource=bmp;
button.Background= i;
}
The reason the += for PointerPressed / PointerReleased won't work in your original code is because Button (actually ButtonBase) class-handles these events. That is because they're being consolidated into the Click event (on Release). If you used skillButton.AddHandler with first param PointerPressedEvent, second param a new handler reference to a named handler, and third param true, you could be using PointerPressed rather than the Entered/Exited as the event.
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble doing this, it shouldn't be hard, but I must be Blend-incompetent. Can someone give me the xaml for an image style where the image is at 60% opacity, on mouseover fades in to 100, mouseout back to 60% and onclick glows for a 0,2 sec.
Or just tell me how to do in blend?
thank you
Solution turned out to be simple enough:

<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.2" To="MouseOver"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>

You are certainly not incompetent. Images do not have states, so a style is not the answer.
The only styles you can create for images are for one fixed state, so you could add the 60% opacity, but not much else.
Your options are:
Create EnterImage and LeaveImage
storyboards that are played with ControlStoryboardAction behaviours (on MouseEnter and MouseLeave events).
Create a custom behaviour and attach that to the images.
Place the image in another control that has states (maybe a button)
Place the image in a user control with an image property
Create a custom control
The simplest is option 1, but it requires attaching several properties to each image so more drags and clicks to author them.
If you let us know which option you prefer I may be able to post an example.
