how to set the color of toggle button from style already defined in app xaml? - xaml

Question

I had created a button and i want to change its color using style from app xaml.
But,i don't get the exact code and i am new to xaml.
Can any one help me with some example.
I am also confused to use which property to change color means background or foreground?

<Window
x:Class="ToolBar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ToolBar"
Width="300"
Height="300">
<DockPanel>
<ToolBarTray
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
IsLocked="True"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<ToolBar
x:Name="ToolBar1">
<ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton.Style>
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Play</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Pause</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ToggleButton.Style>
</ToggleButton>
</ToolBar>
</ToolBarTray>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
Within a toolbar, the two statements:
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
causes the toggle button to appear in the normal state when the toggle button is checked, however nothing changes when you hover over the checked toggle button.
If I wrap the toggle button in another layout, say wrap layout:
<Window
x:Class="ToolBar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ToolBar"
Width="300"
Height="300">
<WrapPanel>
<ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton.Style>
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Play</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Pause</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ToggleButton.Style>
</ToggleButton>
</WrapPanel>
</Window>
the two statements:
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
