Vista - Borderless window?

Borderless window?

I'm trying to figure out how to create a borderless window with WPF. I
have set the WindowStyle property to None, but that still results in a
single, resizable border around my application.

Ideally, I'd like a transparent and borderless application, but I read
that transparency isn't easy at the moment. Can someone please help me
with the border issue though?

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks very much. I knew it had to be something simple. I'm just
starting to learn WPF and XAML and thought I'd try to build a program
launcher application. Basically, it's just one image that sits on the
desktop and when you mouse over it it expands and shows icons for
various programs. It really helps save desktop space.

Ideally, it would have a transparent background so that it would act
like a Konfabulator widget. If anyone has any info on the required Win32
calls, I'd be very interested. I'm a .NET developer and don't have a
vast knowledge of Win32 in my head.

Thanks,

Brian
