Change color of MenuItem on MouseOver

I want to change the color of a MenuItem at mouseOver. I need also rounded borders, an image and a textBox. When I set the style all is ok only the mouseOverEvent is doing anything, the background doesnot change. My code is:

  <Style x:Key="BaseStyle" TargetType="MenuItem">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="#0a99f3" />
            </Trigger>
            <Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="true">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="#0a99f3" />
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
                    <Grid>
                        <Border Name="MainBorder" BorderThickness="2,2,2,0" CornerRadius="8,8,8,8" Margin="0,0,1,0"  BorderBrush="AliceBlue">

                            <Grid>
                                <TextBlock Text="Info" Margin="30,10,0,0" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" />
                                <Image Width="15" Height="15" Source="menu.PNG" Margin="-100,0,0,0" />
                            </Grid>
                        </Border>

                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>

            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>

    </Style>

Hope anybody know what I am missing. Thanks!

You are not binding the Background anywhere in your template so changing that property has no effect.

You're overwritting the Template, but not using the Background Color anywhere in it so the value never gets applied.

Set the Background Color in your MenuItem Template

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
    <Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
