WPF – Global Style?

by

Well, sort of – it’s a catch-all approach you can do – put the following element in your App.xaml – all your buttons will change (except the ones you apply a style to, manually).

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightPink"/> <!-- You should notice that one... -->
</Style>

However, if you want to hit only buttons with images – you have to inherit from Button everytime you do and then apply a style like this:

public class CustomImageButton:Button{}
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:CustomImageButton}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LimeGreen"/>
</Style>
<local:CustomImageButton Content="ClickMe"/>

It is a very coarse-grained global styling – and you need to follow the convention to make it work.

An alternative is to use Themes – read more about that here.
