ToggleButton pushed out to the right - c#

I've copied the code form this article on how to make a iOS style toggle button.
It works well, the only issue is that it is sitting pushed out to the right, and it seems that a large amount of margin is moving it...
<ToggleButton
Style="{StaticResource AnimatedSwitch}"
Height="30"
Grid.Column="1"
Width="50"
Margin="-20, 4, 0, 5"
Checked="ToggleButton_Checked"
Unchecked="ToggleButton_OnUnchecked"/>
Why is this style requiring so much margin to get it to sit so far off to the right... I would have thought that you would want the control to take up the entire space of its parent and scale with it?
Here's the code from the referenced article for the sake of completeness:

The problem appears to be in this line:
<Canvas Name="Layer_1" Width="20" Height="20" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="0">
It does not take into account how the button is moved when checked (the knob is translated by 15 pixels along x). So it must be:
<Canvas Name="Layer_1" Width="35" Height="20" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="0">
Now you may use
<ToggleButton Style="{StaticResource AnimatedSwitch}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="80"/>
in order to position the button exactly at the right edge.


I read the template of the toggle button and here, as you can see, there is a canvas and inside it there are defined some ellipses.
The second is shifted of 15 from the first one. Doing this, goes outside the surface of the canvas that has a width of 20.
<Canvas Name="Layer_1" Width="20" Height="20" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="0">
<Ellipse Canvas.Left="0" Width="20" Height="20" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="0.5"/>
<Ellipse Canvas.Left="15" Width="20" Height="20" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="0.5"/>
try changing the canvas width to 35. Like this:
<Canvas Name="Layer_1" Width="35" Height="20" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="0">

How can I Give the togglebutton a default text?

I have a togglebutton with this style shown below, the toggle button work perfectly but I would like to set a default text to the togglebutton when I open the MainWindow , it should be shown that in the state of false, not disabled
The togglebutton will show the text value only when I do action on it ( Set to ON or OFF ) it will display the text but by default, it seems to the user that it was disabled ( see the picture ).
After starting the application :
Set ON :
Set OFF:
The problem is when I run the application before click on the Toggle button , the shown in the screen is a Tooglebutton was disabled , I need to inizialize this control to state "OFF" ,
Is it possible?
How can I do that?

Update 2 ( Testing the solution of Jason ).
This what I got :

Since your colors are set by reacting to the IsChecked state change, you just need your initial values to match the false state. Set the border color to the off color (red) rather than white. That should get you what you're looking for.
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Grid x:Name="toggleSwitch">
<Border x:Name="Border" CornerRadius="10"
Background="#C2283B"
Width="80" Height="25">
...
</Setter.Value>
Also set the default opacity of the "On" text to 0 to prevent it from showing.
<TextBlock x:Name="txtOn" Text="ON" Opacity="0" Margin="40 0 0 0" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="12" />

How to Change BackgroundColor of DatePicker's inner Textbox

What I want to do is to change the Background from the TextBox that is inside the DatePicker.
I tried to get it work by adding the <Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}" but had no success because I already have other <Style> there.
Here is my <DatePicker>:
<DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center" MinHeight="20">
<DatePicker.SelectedDate>
<Binding Path="ViewModel.Value" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"
RelativeSource="{RelativeSource TemplatedParent}"/>
</DatePicker.SelectedDate>
<DatePicker.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=ViewModel.IsDirty}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightYellow"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=ViewModel.IsInvalid}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Style>
</DatePicker>
So when the IsDirty is triggered the Backgroundgets LightYellow but the inner TextBox Background is still White.
How do I change this Background as well?

In your Style, just add the desired DatePickerTextBox style as a resource:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DatePickerTextBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- your triggers here -->
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

You need to define your own custom ControlTemplate:

You can set the background regularly, and set style to the DatePicker, and set it property such <LinearGradientBrush> or <SolidColorBrush>
(improvement on the answer of dymanoid)
<DatePicker FontSize="22"
Text="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Margin="5 0">
<DatePicker.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White" Opacity="0.35"/>
</DatePicker.Background>
<DatePicker.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DatePickerTextBox">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White" Opacity="0"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>

WPF BorderThickness disable child element padding

I want to animate my button's BorderThickness property to 5 on MouseOver, everything works great except that when BorderThickness increases the content inside the button gets padded, which is something I don't want to happen. Is there a way to bypass/disable this?
Here is my code
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBorder" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" To="3" Duration="0:0:0.2" />

<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBorder" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Border x:Name="ButtonBorder" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}">

And here is the button in XAML
<Button Style="{StaticResource SoulsButton}" Width="150" >
<TextBlock FontFamily="Resources/Fonts/#Univers UltraCondensed" FontSize="20" Foreground="{StaticResource DarkSoulsYellow}" Width="50" Height="20">INSTALL</TextBlock>
</Button>

You can get rid of that annoying as followinging XAML. The Text will not be padded when border thichness change:
<Button Width="150" >
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBorder" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" To="3" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
<ThicknessAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBorder" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderThickness" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="ButtonBorder" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}">
<VirtualizingStackPanel VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizing="True" VirtualizingPanel.VirtualizationMode="Recycling" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
</VirtualizingStackPanel>
</Border>
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverAnimation}"></BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOutAnimation}"></BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
<TextBlock FontSize="20" Foreground="Green">INSTALL</TextBlock>

I was wrote a custom template for checkbox control that it display green for checked and display red for unchecked.I want to the checkbox control make itself disabled for 3 seconds after trigger check/uncheck event and then recover itself enabled.How can I integrate the function to my custom template?
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CheckStates">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Opacity)" Storyboard.TargetName="grid1">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid x:Name="grid">
<Rectangle HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="22" Stroke="White" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="22">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,0" StartPoint="0.5,1">
<GradientStop Color="#FF86CC6E" Offset="0.022"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF47E211" Offset="0.81"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontFamily="Arial Black" FontSize="10.667" Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
</Grid>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Content=""/>

</Grid>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

There is at least a way using Trigger like this:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="ffIsEnabled" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsEnabled">
<BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsEnabled">
<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="False"/>
<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:3" Value="True"/>
</BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource ffIsEnabled}"/>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource ffIsEnabled}"/>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<!-- ... -->
</ControlTemplate>

I want to give it a minimum and maximum values to it considering minimum values to negative rather then it being zero.
**
How can i get a balance slider where one can slide to left or right position and center will be default providing them the horizontal fill on both the sides?
**

a control template don't seems to be the solution.
try just setting Maximum="1" Minimum="-1" Value="0" when using a slider for this case
