Inconsistent Animations and Effects in Windows 11 Styles

[harshit7962]

Description

The effects designed in the windows 11 styles have fixed brush values for events such as hover or keyboard focus. This causes inconsistent results when properties such as Background, Foreground, BorderBrush etc are set in an application.

Reproduction Steps

An example to demonstrate this inconsistency involves following steps:

1. Create a WPF application that supports windows 11 styles
2. Create a text box and specify its background to red and foreground to yellow.
3. Hover over the text box or select the text box.

Expected behavior

The text box should have a background which is a lighter shade of red when hovered over or when typing in.

Actual behavior

The text box has a whitish/greyish color.

I didn't realise we could enable Windows 11 styles in WPF yet. How do you do it? I can't seem to find any info on how to do it.
