Try something like that:

<Window x:Class="HexagonMenu.MainWindow"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Window.Resources>

                        <Border>
                            <Rectangle

                                Stroke="#60000000"
                                StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
                        </Border>
                    </ControlTemplate>
