I’ll make a note in the post about this solution only working with the Windows Aero theme and put in a link to your solution when you get it up.

It fails completely in the "Windows Classic" theme (Windows 2000, Windows 98, etc.). My Style definition works great even in Windows Classic. In short, if you don't care about making sure your buttons work properly in Windows Classic theme, this is a very quick and easy way to make Flat Buttons. Otherwise you'll have to use a Style definition (I'm going to post up mine in my blog.)  Ok, I just tested it more, and found that your solution works only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 themes (maybe Windows XP, I can’t test it now).

I spent <strong>three days</strong> trying to create a XAML-only solution and ended up with a <strong>42-lines-long</strong> Style definition which makes a button flat. And then I came upon your post. You created the exact same flat button with just one line of XAML! <strong>YOU ARE GOD!</strong> You gotta be kidding me!
