This is great, except I'm getting a problem where opening a child window also with a dropshadow it reduces the dropshadow on the parent, and then when the childwindow is closed, removes it entirely.
It also seems to do it when childwindow is not using dropshadow — Stephen Price. Worked like a charm. Note: when I tried to use this approach in a native app, the shadow did not appear until I made the margins nonzero.
For a borderless window, actual values don't seem to matter as long as they are different from 0. This can be beneficial to other community members reading this thread. Thanks Yong Lu for your quick response. You are correct that DropShadowEffect can not applied on Window, I set the drop shadow effect on the border as shown in your code.
The webBrowser control in WPF which is this control is not completely WPF made but it has some part that is made from windows forms controls. So, turn transparency off for the windows may be your only option. Best Regards Yong Lu. As it is you're having problems partly because a dropshadow is only going to extend to the window. Dropshadow is a bitmap effect.
Anything inside one is going to be rendered as a bitmap and it'll look like low resolution. You need to avoid applying it to the content of your window by applying it to an element and then putting the content on top of that element rather than within it. Note that they moved window shell to presentationframework - the xmlns in the snippet above might be different to my sample. I have yet to investigate other methods of drawing a drop shadow I doubt MetroTwit uses this technique , but will post again if I find a better way.
The framework handily provides us with the method DragMove which simply needs to be called when the left mouse button is pressed over a certain element. Holding the left mouse button down over the lime green title bar and dragging is now enough to move the window. Now for resizing. Implementing resizing is at least a hundred times harder than the rest barring a decent drop shadow implementation.
Kirupa Chinnathambi provides an excellent example of how to accomplish borderless window resizing which I took and refactored into some reusable classes that are hopefully fairly simple to use. Simply add those classes to the project.
There, now we have a borderless, draggable, resizable window with a drop shadow. With a little bit of thought I managed to get something with a MetroTwit-ish style, albeit with a strange border and no cleartype support. I am going to research a better way of drawing the drop shadow for Bogglex before releasing version 1. You can decide for yourself whether the drop shadow is worth it.
