Usage

Recommended

The easiest way is to use the custom window:

1. In the code behind your window add those lines

    public partial class MainWindow : MicaWindow //<-- Make this a mica window right here
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

2. In the window xaml add this:

<mica:MicaWindow x:Class="WpfDemo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfDemo"
        xmlns:mica="clr-namespace:MicaWPF.Controls;assembly=MicaWPF"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" 
        Height="450" 
        Width="800">
    <Grid>

    </Grid>
</mica:MicaWindow>

Compatibility

If you already use a custom window you can do this:

1. In the code behind your window add those lines

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Loaded += MainWindow_Loaded; //<-- Add this line
        }

        private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) //< --Add this entire method or add to your loaded method.
        {
            this.EnableMica(WindowsTheme.Auto); 
        }
    }

2. In the window xaml add this:

<Window x:Class="WpfDemo.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfDemo"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" 
        Height="450" 
        Width="800"        
        Background="Transparent"> 
    <WindowChrome.WindowChrome> 
        <WindowChrome 
            CaptionHeight="20"
            ResizeBorderThickness="8"
            CornerRadius="0"
            GlassFrameThickness="-1"
            UseAeroCaptionButtons="True" />
    </WindowChrome.WindowChrome>
    <Grid>

    </Grid>
</Window>
