How would one create the top bar such as in Firefox 4’s Orange bar?
I don’t want to do my own window class as I still want to be hardware accelerated rather than sofware rendered.
Is there a way to do this?

You’ll need to do your own Window drawing, with custom chrome, in order to achieve this type of effect. Here is some sample code showing the technique.
With WPF, provided you’re on a proper rendering tier, the window will still stay hardware accelerated, as WPF uses hardware acceleration for its rendering anyways.
