OuterGlowBitmapEffect Alternative Without BitmapEffects
bitmapeffect, effects, styles, wpf
Solution
The standard `Effect` library provides a `DropShadowEffect` that can be set up to look just like an `OuterGlowBitmapEffect`. The nice thing about this effect is that it is hardware-accelerated (unlike the bitmap effects, which are done in software). To make the `DropShadowEffect` look like a glow, simply set the `ShadowDepth` property to 0.
Problem
What is a good alternative to OuterGlowBitmapEffect? Preferably one that can be used in a theme/style and one that can be used without BitmapEffects.
