Would somebody know how to recreate this button style in WPF? As I do not know how to make the different compartments. As well as the 2 different texts and text styles?
To solve your question definitely need to use the Style and Template for the Button. But how exactly does he look like? Decisions may be several. For example, Button are two texts to better define the relevant TextBlocks? Can be directly in the template, but then use the buttons will be limited, because the template can be only one ContentPresenter. I decided to do things differently, to identify one ContentPresenter with an icon in the form of a Path, and the content is set using the buttons on the side.
The style:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#373737" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border CornerRadius="4" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid>
<Path x:Name="PathIcon" Width="15" Height="25" Stretch="Fill" Fill="#4C87B3" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="17,0,0,0" Data="F1 M 30.0833,22.1667L 50.6665,37.6043L 50.6665,38.7918L 30.0833,53.8333L 30.0833,22.1667 Z "/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#E59400" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter TargetName="PathIcon" Property="Fill" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="OrangeRed" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Sample of using:
<Button Width="200" Height="50" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,20,0,0" />
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Watch Now" FontSize="20" />
<TextBlock Text="Duration: 50m" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
Output
It is best to StackPanel determine the Resources and set the Button so:
<Window.Resources>
<StackPanel x:Key="MyStackPanel">
<TextBlock Name="MainContent" Text="Watch Now" FontSize="20" />
<TextBlock Name="DurationValue" Text="Duration: 50m" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
</StackPanel>
</Window.Resources>
<Button Width="200" Height="50" Content="{StaticResource MyStackPanel}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,20,0,0" />
The question remains with setting the value for TextBlock Duration, because this value must be dynamic. I implemented it using attached DependencyProperty. Set it to the window, like that:
<Window Name="MyWindow" local:MyDependencyClass.CurrentDuration="Duration: 50m" ... />
Using in TextBlock:
<TextBlock Name="DurationValue" Text="{Binding ElementName=MyWindow, Path=(local:MyDependencyClass.CurrentDuration)}" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
In fact, there is no difference for anyone to determine the attached DependencyProperty, because it is the predominant feature.
Example of set value:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MyDependencyClass.SetCurrentDuration(MyWindow, "Duration: 101m");
}

Here's my attempt. Looks more similar to the OP's sample and provides settable properties for icon (FrameworkElement), title (string) and subtitle (string). The output looks like this:

In this day and age of mouse driven computers and tablets with touch screens etc, it is often forgotten to cater for input via keyboard only. A button should support a focus rectangle (the dotted rectangle when the button has focus) or another shape matching the button shape.
To add a focus rectangle to the button, use this XAML (from this site).
Focus rectangle style:
<Style x:Key="ButtonFocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border>
<Rectangle Margin="2" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="#60000000" StrokeDashArray="1 2" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Applying the style to the button:
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource ButtonFocusVisual}" />
...
<Button x:Name="mybtnSave" FlowDirection="LeftToRight" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="813,614,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="223" Height="53" BorderBrush="#FF2B3830" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" FontFamily="B Titr" FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold" BorderThickness="2" TabIndex="107" Click="mybtnSave_Click" >

and another style based on this style:
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle2" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonStyle1}">
<Setter Property="Rectangle.Fill">
<Setter.Value>
In the first style, I have two rectangles. In the second style, which is based on style 1, I would like to change the property of just one rectangle (which I named it "rectangle"). How can I do that?
Expose a property for the rectangle's fill in the ButtonEx class.
In the template, use {TemplateBinding} to bind the Fill to this new property.
In the derived style, set a new value to this property.
I've been using WPF for about a week now. One of the controls I needed to implement was an aero style Windows Explorer like Treeview that was quite close to the original. I saw that the original WPF treeview would need some theming to achieve that so I searched about on the Internet for a basic resource dictionary/theme that I could use. I found one and I've been adjusting it ever since. I made some progress however considering that I only begun working with WPF a week ago, I've hit a problem that I don't know how to solve.
You see, one of the behaviors of the 7 style explorer is that the expand/collapse toggle buttons fade in and out depending on whether one has focus on the it's treeview or the mouse is over it.
I tried to implement the behavior by applying it to the actual TreeView via a style and trigger (IsFocused) and performing an animation from there, but I do not know how to actually "address" the toggle buttons. They're also defined in another style. I've been trying to do it in XAML and would prefer it in XAML for simplicity's sake although I do not know if that is possible.
Here is the resource Dictionary (well the important parts concerning tree view elements and my failed attempt):

Just wondering if anyone knows how to change the look of the button on a wpf combobox?
In case you are wondering I just want to change the shape of it and the background.
Thanks.
You can easily modify the ControlTemplate or style of controls using Expression Blend.
Here is one example which will use the Simple Style for the ComboBox and i have modified the Toggle button Color to red.
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="NormalBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#EEE" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#CCC" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="NormalBorderBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#CCC" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#444" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<!-- LightBrush is used for content areas such as Menu, Tab Control background -->
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="LightBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFF" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#EEE" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<!-- MouseOverBrush is used for MouseOver in Button, Radio Button, CheckBox -->
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="MouseOverBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFF" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#AAA" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<!-- PressedBrush is used for Pressed in Button, Radio Button, CheckBox -->
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="PressedBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#BBB" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#EEE" Offset="0.1"/>
<GradientStop Color="#EEE" Offset="0.9"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFF" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="PressedBorderBrush" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
<GradientStop Color="#444" Offset="0.0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#888" Offset="1.0"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="DisabledBorderBrush" Color="#AAA"/>
<!-- Used for background of ScrollViewer, TreeView, ListBox, Expander, TextBox, Tab Control -->

To change the Shape or background of the Toggle Button in the example you have to modify the ControlsTemplate "ToggleButtonControlTemplate1".
Use control templates for that.
