Is Visual studio 2012 using WPF's WindowChrome trick ?

I see the same rendering behavior (With some black splashes when resizing) And when VS2012 not responding the real title-bar appears again over WPF's and not outside . Which is what WindowChrome does , Providing drawing on non-client areas .

But then i thought that it's impossible to make a drop-shadow effect outside of WinAPI's drawing area .. But seems that they actually success , Interesting .

SO , Did they used WindowChrome or something else ? I really want to know .

This is not a question - this is a discussion and would be better raised in the forums.

Not unless you are lucky enough to find an MS employee from the VS2012 development team in QA - and they don't advertise their presence on the grounds of the general response to VS2012...:laugh:
