In WPF, a large effort was made to separate visual from logical. Because of this, there is a LARGE amount of freedom to make the UI look however you want. All of the controls, including windows, are ‘lookless’. You can provide your own look via templates and styles. A default visual style has been provided that makes everything look like you would expect, but you don’t have to use it.
