WPF: Custom window, standard min/max/close buttons

Question

I would like to create a custom WPF window (WindowStyle = None, AllowsTransparency = True). However, I would like the min/max/close buttons to look identical to those on standard windows. Is this possible?

You mean standard according to the current system theme? (Aero, classic etc.) – Deangelis

exactly. i'd like them to be drawn exactly like they would be using the current system theme. – Tjaden

Answer 1

You might want to have a look at GlassWindow in FluidKit at CodePlex
http://fluidkit.codeplex.com/

The source code has a custom Window Style looking like this. It's pretty easy to modify to however you want it to look. I've used it once and it works good

You'll need to "draw" them yourself, since you're using WindowStyle=None. When choosing this option, you'll need to render your own Chrome as desired.
