Hello,
which is the easiest way to extend the class effect into the client area in c#4.0 WPF? Is there some kind of wrapper which makes it easier?

Don't get me wrong, I have used Google and I have found many ways, but some wrappers just don't work properly and some other ways I found are just to inefficient, so I was hoping to get some advice here.

Thanks in advance.

By client area do you mean their desktop outside of your form?
I think you could add a margin to your grid or canvas, set the form border to none and then set the main window to glass. that way it would have a glass surround.
