As far as I can remember (It is more than 4 years ago), you can create a style to use with a WPF window.

This is a sample window Style:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
                      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> 
    <Style x:Key="MainWindow" 
           TargetType="{x:Type Window}"> 
        <Setter Property="Foreground" 
                Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowTextBrushKey}}" /> 
        <Setter Property="Template"> 
            <Setter.Value> 
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Window}"> 
                    <Grid> 
                        <Border x:Name="MainBorder" 
                                BorderBrush="{DynamicResource MainWindowBorderBrush}" 
                                BorderThickness="1" 
                                CornerRadius="2" 
                                Background="{DynamicResource MainWindowBackgroundBrush}"> 
                            <DockPanel LastChildFill="True"> 
                                <Rectangle x:Name="PART_LEFT_BORDER" 
                                           Width="2" 
                                           Cursor="SizeWE"> 
                                    <Rectangle.Fill> 
                                        <SolidColorBrush Color="Transparent" /> 
                                    </Rectangle.Fill> 
                                </Rectangle> 
                                <Rectangle x:Name="PART_RIGHT_BORDER" 
                                           Cursor="SizeWE" 
                                           Width="2" 
                                           DockPanel.Dock="Right">
