Hi, I am using WPF Sept CTP on XP xp2, and as suggested by you, transperancy thing works gr8, but it is not glass effect ( the vista one ) I have seen some apps (http://www.launchy.net/) which seem to give that effect in dot net 2.0 so how abt getting those same effects in WPF for XPsp2

For vista we can do it this way : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms748975.aspx but what about XPsp2?

I looked it up on internet and found http://blogs.msdn.com/unnir/archive/2006/03/01/541154.aspx
however the code does not compile.. at least on my machine.. it complains about some baml file which is not found.

I have an xbap application which is launching a WPF window with rounded corners. If i apply some tooltips or try to open some kind of popup windows inside this window, It crashes giving a message “Cannot create top level child windows” But if i remove the AllowsTransparency property of the WPF window then it works perfectly, But then i wont be getting Rounded corners. But i want to do both? Please help me!!

(by the way no such issues in Desktop application)

Luiz,
You should be able to set the Button to non-transparent by setting its Opacity.

I have the September CTP of .net 3.0 installed on an older XP SP2 machine and a newer Vista RC1 machine. I’m using multiple windows that have AllowsTransparency=”true”. They run fine and DragMove works, except on the Vista machine transformations and storyboards run very very slow. I hope this will be fixed in later builds but for the meantime is there a temporary fix without me having to create “fake” mdi-style children inside one window as oppose to creating multiple real windows with transparency? Thanks.
