Hello guys I'm new to WPF and XAML. I'm stuck on changing the button background, image, colour or whatever, it just keeps being white. It just shows the background when I double click on it in the visual editor so I can type some text on it, then it becomes white again.
Any clue about what I'm doing wrong?
<Button Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Width="59" Content="{Binding PlayContent}" x:Name="PlayPause" HorizontalAlignment="Center" cal:Bind.AtDesignTime="True">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="resources/main_play_normal.png"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
thanks

You just need to use style and template to modify your button behavior.
Here is a Metro Style for WPF Button try to use it :
<Style
x:Key="ButtonFocusVisual">
<Setter
Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="MetroButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource ButtonFocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#EEEEEEEE"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10 5"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Border
x:Name="Border"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" />
<ContentPresenter
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="OpacityMask" Value="#AA888888"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2 1" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<!--<Setter Property="Background" Value="DimGray"/>-->
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#ADADAD"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Try to use this style:
<Style x:Key="GreenButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" >
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1" >
<GradientStop Color="#FF3F9542" Offset="0.85"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="0"
Padding="4,2"
BorderBrush="LightGray"
CornerRadius="2"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid >
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="contentShadow" >
</ContentPresenter>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="content"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF4788c8" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF429C46"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="Opacity" Value="0.7" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Then you just apply that style like this :
<Button x:Name="m_Button" Height="35" Content="Submit" Style="{StaticResource GreenButton}" IsEnabled="True" Click="m_Button_Click"/>

You need to change your code like this,
<Button Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Width="59" x:Name="PlayPause">
<Image Source="resources/main_play_normal.png"/>
</Button>

*If want to set image as background use
<Button x:Name="bt_cam" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Height="80"Width="59" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="Button_Click" >
<Button.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect Opacity="0.3" ShadowDepth="12" />
</Button.Effect>
<StackPanel>
<Image x:Name="cam" Source="resources/main_play_normal.png" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
