How to override the enabled /disabled look on a button in wpf

I'm assuming that this may be a style issue, but being new to wpf I'm not sure what I should be changing. I have built a user control containg various buttons (whose background colour I have set to be transparent). None the less when added to a form or other user control they exhibit a coloured background when disabled, or when run over by the mouse when enabled (see illustration below)

enter image description here

What do I need to do to remove the grey background on the button's disabled state, and also the blue background that appears on rollover when it is enabled. My aim is to try aand retain a clean and clear rendition of the button images.

Thanks

You would need to override the ControlTemplate of the Button controls using a Style. The following Style will apply to all Button controls, but you can specify a Key for the Style and use it on specific Button controls if you wish.

<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                    <Border x:Name="ButtonContent">
                        <ContentPresenter />
                    </Border>
                    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
                            <Setter TargetName="ButtonContent"
                                    Property="Background"
                                    Value="Transparent"/>
                        </Trigger>
                    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
