This is a win form, I know how to change a background color of a button its simply

C#

button1.backcolor = color.red;

But I don't like that its just a colored block inside a styled button, I want to change the colour background behind the button back color, for example, if i make the button red, it would hhave a red box in it with a grey border around the edges, I was wondering if anyone can help me change the whole color of the button not just the box in it, can anyone please help me with this?

You can get something similar if you are working in WPF application not window application in c#.
when you create a new project lunch it as WpfApplication not WindowsFormsApplication , in wpf you can work more in design then the winform
