ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" sucks
One of the great things about WPF is how you're able to create great looking apps.
One of the sucky things about WPF is how you're able to create great looking apps suck within the standard WinXP/Vista borders.
It's not hard to turn off the borders, a simple WindowStyle="none" in the Window tag in XAML does the job.
The problem is, you then can't move or resize your window.
Okay, AeothLib takes care of the former, and I was trying to add the latter to AeothLib, when I came across 'ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"'
'Fantastic', I thought, 'this is exactly what I want'. That was until I discovered how poor performance it is when 'AllowsTransparency="True"' is set.
Allowing transparency's is one of the main reasons you'd use no window style in the first place!
After exams/ReMix/engagement party, I'll actually add it into AeothLib.
(note, trying out Windows Live Writer Beta 2, as I was in my last post, so apologies for anything that's extremely screwed up. Too many P's…. Yay! Scape goats!)
