How to achieve Vista glass transparency (AERO) in

问题:

It's easy for a WPF application to make parts of a window transparent or semi-transparent. But how to I apply the current Vista theme (colors, opacity) to these transparent parts?

When I have a green glass border how will I get a green glass background of the same style?

Is it even possible to do this without calls to the Windows API?

I am thinking of something like this
