Windows Media Player style buttons in WPF
-
Hi All, i'm trying to replicate the Windows Media Player style buttons in WPF, however i cant quite get it right, specifically the glow on the bottom. I've searched google and MSDN however i cant find a guide or existing control anywhere. I can replicate them with a airbrush and colour dodge in photoshop, with a overlay layer for the top gradient. The glow effect in WPF doesnt quite get the right look though. I'm also having a bit of trouble figuring out the orders (the highlight part) without moving a path around when an item is selected. See this image: http://www.intelligentflight.net/mark/WMP-MenuBar.jpg taken from WMP and blown up 200%. The corners on the top are easy enough using a border and just adding a corner radius to the top left/right, the highlight i can do with a rectangle or path and about 60% opacity, however the blue glow at the bottom has me rather confused. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
