Change color of Button when Mouse is over

Aug 9, 2025 See the question and my original answer on StackOverflow

Not sure this works with all versions of WPF, but lately with WPF for .NET 9, I was able to simply do this:

<Button Content="Click Here">
    <Button.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackground" Color="Red" />
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackgroundPointerOver" Color="Blue" />
    </Button.Resources>
</Button>
