I want to style the Page Button in UWP for a master detail page. With the help of the Live Visual Tree I found out that it should be the ContentTogglePane
button.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="{TemplateBinding ToolbarBackground}" >
<Button Name="ContentTogglePane" Style="{ThemeResource PaneButton}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}"
Visibility="{TemplateBinding ContentTogglePaneButtonVisibility}" />
<Border Height="{ThemeResource TitleBarHeight}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding DetailTitleVisibility}">
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding DetailTitle}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" Foreground="{TemplateBinding ToolbarForeground}" Style="{ThemeResource TitleTextBlockStyle}" />
</Border>
</StackPanel>
The style is defined in this way:
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="PaneButton">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource SymbolThemeFontFamily}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="48" />
<Setter Property="Width" Value="48" />
<Setter Property="Content" Value="" />
</Style>
I've tried to modify the default button style and all other button changes except the ContentTogglePane
button. I want to remove the border and change the text color on hover as well as the background.
Which style do I have to overwrite to accomplish this? Ideally, only the ContentTogglePane
button is overwritten.

I think you've found the default template style of MasterDetailControl
and PaneButton
, then you can copy them into the App.xaml
file of the UWP project (aka. Application resource of UWP app). Since you want to change the style when the button is on hover, we still need the default Button styles and templates, copy the <Setter Property="Template">...</Setter>
part into the style for PaneButton
. The "on hover" behavior is controlled by <VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
in the default button style.
All needed resources is now in application resource, we can simply modify them as we did in standard UWP app. For example:
<Application
x:Class="MasterDetailPageNavigation.UWP.App"
