Hi I want to create a flat combo box with wpf. Acctually I have already done it but when the mouse is over the combo box it returns to its old style.

I have this xaml code:

    <Style TargetType="ComboBox" x:Key="Flat_ComboBox">            
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>            
        <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top"/>
        <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="60"/>
        <Setter Property="UIElement.SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
        <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Disabled"/>
        <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Auto"/>
        <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll" Value="True"/>
        <Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="FrameworkElement.FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/>            
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />       

        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">                    
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightSkyBlue" />
            </Trigger>                
        </Style.Triggers>

    </Style>

Which properties of the Trigger "IsMouseOver" do I need to change?

<ComboBox Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ComboBoxStyleKey}}"/>
