This isn't the end of the world (anymore) but I was wondering how defining a style for a ListBoxItem where I turn the FocusVisualStyle Null will turn the whole mess purple. This is despite the items being buttons with a style defined:

<ListBox Name="ChoicesList"  Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" 
            ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
            SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}" ItemsSource="{Binding Choices}"
            PreviewKeyDown="ChoicesList_PreviewKeyDown">
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
            </StackPanel>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Button Content="{Binding}" Click="Button_Click" Style="{StaticResource ResourceKey=SaveButtonStyle}" Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" MouseEnter="Button_MouseEnter"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <!--
        AND HE SHALL DON THE PURPLE! This doesn't seem to be sufficient to define the container style for some reason. It turns the controls purple.
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}" />
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    -->
</ListBox>

So I know I need to define control templates for my controls, but I was kind of surprised how it went down here. Is there a default container style that I didn't sufficiently override when I only set the FocusVisualStyle?

It came up because I've been interacting with some folks that like to get rid of the "marching ants" and I think I agree for what I'm trying to do.

You are missing the BasedOn to extend the application style (that should contain setters for many properties including the Template) with your local style:

<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem" BasedOn="{StaticResoruce {x:Type ListBoxItem}}">
        <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}" />
    </Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
