This answer touches only one specific bug or misconception of the inquirer (which OP maybe not even going to make), without any attempts to cover the topic. May I ask you: did you just do a Wen search and picked first link which seemed relevant to you? Instead of trying to help OP?

Here is how:

Also, if you have more than one window in the application and want to share the styles between windows, you would need to put the styles in external ResourceDictionary (separate XML file) and use this dictionary in all windows' XAML:
