Recently Tim shared some code for extending Windows Vista Aero "Glass" inside a Windows Forms window. It sounds like he's eventually planning on showing this with WPF (among other things). I also looked into this for my upcoming WPF book, and I couldn't wait to share the results of my little WPF glass experiment! Sorry, Tim, if I'm stealing your thunder!
NOTE: This code will require WPF Beta 2 or later (and Windows Vista). I'll share the whole project (including an updated Internet Hearts app) when Beta 2 is released.
I took the WPF UI I created for the Internet Hearts migration, slapped it in a System.Windows.Window, and "glassified" it. Here is the result:
I didn't change a thing in the Hearts UI, and everything worked as expected: the 2D & 3D animation
