Hi,

The ux:Value property is not applying when the property is not set in the instantiation of the class.

The BackGround color should be #FFFFFF when no value is set like this:

```auto
<float4 ux:Property="BackgroundColor" ux:Value="#FFFFFF" />

```

And instantiated as such:

```auto
<MyButton />

```

However the MyButton component has no background until I set it explicitly again in the instantiation like this:

```auto
<MyButton BackgroundColor="#FFF"/>

```
