How can I create a similar application, as in the screenshot?

I already looked towards the API from windows, but it adds to the blur also the glass effect, I did not find where to adjust the power of the blur and how to darken the semi-transparent area (to make it even more opaque)

Now I look towards BlurEffect

<Image x:Name="image"> <Image.Effect> <BlurEffect Radius="25"/> </Image.Effect> </Image>

But perhaps there are better options, it does not seem to me a very productive solution. Or, perhaps, I am doing something not quite right, I will be glad to hear optimization tips

enter image description here

  • According to the documentation , the “glass effect” can be canceled if you do not set negative margins in DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea . - VladD
  • How to adjust the power of blur, I did not find. This is probably not supported so that all applications are visually similar. (However, I can be wrong here.) - VladD
  • And to darken, just put a translucent background. - VladD
