You can convert almost any art object into a Button control if you think it can work, behave, and appear as a button. For example, you could create a template for a button that used the
cloud object for the button’s appearance. I wrote how to draw a Cloud button here. And you can use the built-in Button control template to create a custom Button template.

The Cloud Button style has nice MouseOver and Pressed states. Point to this cute object. The cloud appears to move up, and its shadow gets smaller.

Published a fully customized DatePicker control. Looks good with the new calendar icon, gradient strokes and the blue shadow.
