Change shape of WPF button without changing other styles

Question

I would like to change the shape of a WPF button from the default round rectangle to another shape (say, an arrow), but I want to keep the rest of the styling -- fill color,

Answer 1

You should be able to subclass the normal button control. You can then customize the subclassed button with a custom shape, but all other properties would be inherited. This would allow you to change the shape for your button and nothing else.

Here's a good resource for creating a custom button if you have Blend:
