For more details, i'm using mvvm light and, when I click a transparent button, the command fire but it don't whith other color (breakpoint not reached in the command).
Thank you for your help :)

The button is inside the border and "invisible"
To get a round button (or another shape other than rectangular), you need to change the template of the button itself.
Here's an example of a FULL circular button template.
Record it in a resource dictionary and use it in your button.
I did not set color bindings, because I did not understand from your code where they are used.
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Background" Color="#FFDDDDDD"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Border" Color="#FF707070"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.MouseOver.Background" Color="#FFBEE6FD"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.MouseOver.Border" Color="#FF3C7FB1"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Pressed.Background" Color="#FFC4E5F6"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Pressed.Border" Color="#FF2C628B"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Disabled.Background" Color="#FFF4F4F4"/>

<Style x:Key="ButtonRoundStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">

All keys are obtained through DynamicResource.
Therefore, they can be redefined at the place where the template is applied.
I edited the question, in my project I try ...
After complementing the question with the complete XAML code, if I understood it correctly, the pattern I showed is applied like this:
<Button Content="{Binding}" Tag="{Binding Name}"
Height="130" Width="130" Margin="0"
Click="Button_Click">
<Button.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.MouseOver.Border" Color="Gray"/>
</Button.Resources>
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonRoundStyle}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StrColor}" Value="black">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StrColor}" Value="white">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StrColor}" Value="none">

Accessing the border around a contentpresenter

I have a ListView which uses a DataTemplate. When an item is selected a border and background is added but I am unsure where from. This shows in the visual tree as a border around the ContentPresenter but inside the ListViewItem. The properties show that they were added by triggers in the TemplatedParent template. How can I override these triggers given the structure below or is my approach wrong?
<ListView x:Name="MyListview" ItemsSource="{Binding Thumbnails}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<local:VirtualizingWrapPanel IsItemsHost="True" ....../>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Name="ThumbItemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type local:ThumbItem}">
<Grid Margin="6" Width="128" Height="168">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="128"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Row="0" BorderThickness="0">
<Image x:Name="ThumbnailImage" MaxHeight="128" MaxWidth="128" Source="{Binding Thumbnail}" />
</Border>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,6,0,0" TextAlignment="Center" x:Name="Description" Text="{Binding Title}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

These come from the ItemContainerStyle. You could define your own custom template for the ListViewItem, e.g:
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Style.Resources>
<Style x:Key="FocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.MouseOver.Background" Color="#1F26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.MouseOver.Border" Color="#a826A0Da"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.SelectedInactive.Background" Color="#3DDADADA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.SelectedInactive.Border" Color="#FFDADADA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.SelectedActive.Background" Color="#3D26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Item.SelectedActive.Border" Color="#FF26A0DA"/>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,1"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding VerticalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource FocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.MouseOver.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.MouseOver.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedInactive.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedInactive.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="True"/>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedActive.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedActive.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" TargetName="Bd" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
You can copy the default template by right-clicking on a ListBox in design mode in Visual Studio and choose Edit Additional Templates->Edit Generated Item Container (ItemContainerStyle).

WPF MetroWindow Listbox remove Focus Color

I searched a long time for the solution, but as i didn't find anything helpful, I'm asking my own question.
I'm using MahApps Metro in WPF and it supports Tile View. I have some Pictures that get applied to a tile, and the tile itself gets stored into a ListBox, so it kinda looks like the Windows 10 Start menu. But whenever I hover my mouse over a tile item, the listBox focus color gets visible
As these are tiles and the listbox focus has no need for me, that blue surrounding just looks ugly for me, but I haven't found a way to disable it.
My XAML code is pretty frugal:
<Controls:MetroWindow x:Class="Berichtsheft_Analyzer.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="15,10">
<Controls:Tile Title="{Binding Path=_Name}" Background="Brown" TiltFactor="0" Width="225" Height="225">
<Rectangle Width="160" Height="160" >
<Rectangle.Fill>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Path=_Imagesrc}"/>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
</Controls:Tile>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
What do I need to do to set the focus color at least to "White" so it's not visible anymore

You need to get a copy of the standard ListView's ItemContainerStyle via expression blend, and remove the triggers that set the container border.
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,1"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding VerticalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource FocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.MouseOver.Background}"/>
<!-- change this one to white? -->
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.MouseOver.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedInactive.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedInactive.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="True"/>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedActive.Background}"/>
<!-- change this one to white? -->
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="Bd" Value="{StaticResource Item.SelectedActive.Border}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" TargetName="Bd" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
and use the style like this:
<ListBox Name="Hans" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}">

WPF DataGridCell watermark style. Cannot edit the cell

I wanted to add a style to a DataGridCell in my app to have the effect of a watermarked "hint" in case the cell is empty to give the user a hint about what he needs to type in the cell.
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="WatermarkTextBox" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="BorderBase" Background="White" BorderThickness="1.4,1.4,1,1" BorderBrush="Red">
<Label x:Name="TextPrompt"
Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=Tag}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Visibility="Visible"
Focusable="False" Foreground="Silver"/>
</Border>
<!--<ScrollViewer Margin="0" x:Name="PART_ContentHost" Foreground="Black"/>-->
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsFocused" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="Content" Value=""/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="TextPrompt" Value="Visible"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="BorderBase" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="TextPrompt" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DimGray" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
And this is my code:
Style style = this.FindResource("WatermarkTextBox") as Style;
myCell.Tag = "input position here please";
myCell.Style = style;
And it works fine. When this code is executed, the watermark style is applied correctly. But when I focus on the cell, I cannot write anything.
I mean, the "IsFocused" trigger is executed and the Label is collapsed (it disappears) but I cannot input anything inside the cell.

You are missing a ContentPresenter:
<Style x:Key="WatermarkTextBox" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Tag" Value="insert" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="BorderBase" Background="White" BorderThickness="1.4,1.4,1,1" BorderBrush="Red">
<Label x:Name="TextPrompt"
Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}, Path=Tag}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Visibility="Visible"
Focusable="False" Foreground="Silver"/>
</Border>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="cp" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsFocused" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="Content" Value=""/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="TextPrompt" Value="Visible"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="cp" Value="Collapsed"/>
</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="BorderBase" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="TextPrompt" Value="Collapsed"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="cp" Value="Visible"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DimGray" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

How to disable the treeviewitem background color change?

I have a following problem: I have two treeview controls in my WPF app and when I click on one of the items in first tree and then click on one of the items in second tree, then the item in first tree changes it backgroud color. I tried to change the background color in the multitrigger

for template property but with no effect. How can I disable this behaviour ? Here Is my sample window code(Im not changing the treeview control in code behind)

Only thing I can see wrong in the code you've posted is your Trigger's Setter sets both Background and Foreground to the same color {DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}}
You could also maybe try setting the MultiTrigger condition as Selector.IsSelectionActive to be explicit:
I tried your posted code with these changes (Works fine for me in Windows-8):
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected"
Value="true" />
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive"
Value="false" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="Background"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}}" />
</MultiTrigger>
Output:
Note:
Your only setting Style for the Top TreeViewItem as TreeViewItemStyle1. Hence the default Style gets applied to the Child TreeViewItem's which don't specify a Style. If you want it to apply automatically to all TreeViewItem's just remove the Style Key in declaration and it should be applied automatically based on the TargetType
