I’m sure it has been asked before (but couldn’t find any resources that solves my problem), I’m creating a Silverlight application where users may install and use in OOB mode, using elevated trust. I want my “windowless window”s background to be transparent so I’ve set the app to run windowless in OOB mode, and put some margin around my Grid (main grid) along with a drop shadow effect. What I’m trying to achieve is the “zune window” effect: a rectangular main borderless window with drop shadow. I was able to do it in WPF but in Silverlight, I’m getting a white background:
I don’t want this white background, and I’ve double checked that NOTHING has a white background set, but I’m still getting this. How can I get rid of that white border (obviously while keeping the drop shadow effect)?
The short answer is: you can’t.
The long answer is: The
Windowobject represents a client window with a solid color background and there is no way to change that color.
