ApplicationBarIconButton lookalike

Does anybody knows how to make a button look like an ApplicationBarIconButton? I want to place the button in a stackpanel on a page, not in an ApplicationBar.

The button must have the same effects, and must have a round circle around the icon image.

The Coding4Fun Toolkit has a RoundButton component I've used many times for this purpose. Just specify the image, and it'll draw the border and adjust for the phone's theme just like the application bar.

You may use http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/metrostudio which allows you to create custom icons. I found them very useful. I hope it helps you too

Try something like this

<Border CornerRadius="50" BorderThickness="4" Height="68" Width="68" BorderBrush="White">
     <Button Content="A" BorderThickness="0" Height="68" Width="68" Margin="-9,-4,-8,5" FontSize="36" Foreground="White"/>
</Border>

You can draw your own button template in Expression Blend (it's free for WP7 developers)

Use a "{StaticResource PhoneContrastBackgroundColor}" as a color for your button.
