I have the following Style for a Button which is supposed to grow to 1.5 times the size when the mouse hovers it. The problem is that Button grows from the Top-Left corner instead of the center. Does anyone know how to fix this?
<Style x:Key="sizeButton" TargetType="Button">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="RenderTransform">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5"/>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Tried the solution offered by Henk Holterman but I couldn't get the following code to work. It seems to have no effect or am I doing it wrong?
<Window.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="sizeButton" TargetType="Button">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="RenderTransform">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ScaleTransform CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5"/>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
    <Button Content="Increase Size" Width="100" Height="50" Style="{StaticResource sizeButton}"/>
</StackPanel>
You can set RenderTransformOrigin to "0.5, 0.5"
<Style x:Key="sizeButton" TargetType="Button">
    <Setter Property="RenderTransformOrigin" Value="0.5, 0.5"/>
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="RenderTransform">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5"/>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>
ScaleTransform.CenterX and ScaleTransform.CenterY are not values between [0, 1], rather they should be absolute pixel values.
<ScaleTransform CenterX="50" CenterY="25" ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5"/>
