I have done it by using Micosoft.windows.Shell.dll but it workes only on windows 7 not in windows xp It is because of GlassFrameThickness attribut if I set it -1 it workes properly else the minimize, maximize and close buttons are disabled.How can I solve this problem. The code I have used is given below-

 <Window.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="GlassStyle" TargetType="{x:Type local:Window1}">
            <Setter Property="shell:WindowChrome.WindowChrome">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <shell:WindowChrome GlassFrameThickness="-1" ResizeBorderThickness="6" CaptionHeight="40" CornerRadius="6,0,6,20" />
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
</Window.Resources>
