❔ WPF Border Button

Hello, have you any idea why there is this gray border on the button ?
the dimensions of my image is 40x30 so it should fit in my button without this gray border

I think that's probably part of the button -- your image is being placed inside the button, but doesn't replace the styling it already has You can replace the ControlTemplate instead -- that should replace everything, including the press styling, etxc

<Button ...>
  <Button.Template>
    <ControlTemplate>
      <Image .../>
    </ControlTemplate>
  </Button.Template>
</Button>

<Button ...>
  <Button.Template>
    <ControlTemplate>
      <Image .../>
    </ControlTemplate>
  </Button.Template>
</Button>

One more thing, do not use the designer If Margins are larger than 30, it's bad. $rulesofwpf

Rules of WPF:

❌ Avoid the WPF Designer to eliminate a category of confusing bugs
❌ Don't rely on Margin as the primary tool for layouts
❌ Avoid writing UserControls or subclassing to extend a default control -- use Behaviors instead (Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf)

✅ Write XAML by hand and autoformat with "Ctrl K,D" or XAML Styler
✅ Rely upon XAML Hot Reload to design your app's UI at runtime
✅ Use layout controls (Grid, DockPanel, etc) to support proper resizing
✅ Use data binding to eliminate glue code and state synchronization issues
✅ Use collection controls and DataTemplate to dynamically create lists of controls
✅ Learn MVVM to create maintainable apps
✅ Use the Dispatcher to update controls from non-UI threads
✅ WPF's default controls can be easily modernized via $wpfuilibs
✅ Include relevant XAML, code-behind, and ViewModel code for questions when possible
