My goal: Similarly the Intellisense dropdown in Visual Studio 2008, when the user presses CTRL, I want the entire application to become 40% opaque. How can I do that?
I want to use the regular window chrome, so my WindowStyle cannot be “None”.
Thanks!
For WPF, one possible solution is the custom GlassWindow found in the FluidKit library (CodePlex). In this solution, Window is subclassed and retemplated. Additional work is done to make sure minimize, maximize, and window movement work as expected. I think that there are other custom solutions out there that do similar things.
This is not a perfect solution for a number of reasons, so I am curious to see what others have tried or come up with.
