Answer 1

I'm not sure which version of .Net you're using, but if you're using 4.5 or higher, you can use the SystemParameters class. I think the property you more than likely are after is the WindowsGlassBrush.

this.Background = SystemParameters.WindowGlassBrush;

Note though, that the properties in this class are marked with SecurityCriticalAttribute, so you will more than likely need full trust to access them.

Answer 2

I wanted the XAML version of Richard Preziosi answer, that would be :

BorderBrush="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.WindowGlassBrush}}"
