Hi Jacob,

If you don't like to use the icon, the single way to do this is to make a custom title bar, I think...

You can use this code: This is the XAML code:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350"
Width="525" WindowStyle="None">
<Grid>
    <Border BorderBrush="#FF00860C" BorderThickness="3"
Name="border1" Margin="0,30,0,0"></Border>
    <Rectangle Name="rectangle1" Stroke="#FF2446FF"
StrokeThickness="3" Height="30" VerticalAlignment="Top" MouseDown="rectangle1_MouseDown">
       
<Rectangle.Fill>
           
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
               
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0.013" />
               
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1" />
               
<GradientStop Color="#FF7CAEFF" Offset="0.477"/>
           
</LinearGradientBrush>
       
</Rectangle.Fill>
    </Rectangle>
    <Button
Content="X" Height="24" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,3,3,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="23"
Click="button1_Click" />
    <Button Content="□" Height="24" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,3,26,0"
Name="button2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="23" Click="button2_Click" />
    <Button Content="__" Height="24" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,3,49,0" Name="button3"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="23" Click="button3_Click" />
    <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="102,4,0,0" Name="textBlock1" Text="Custom
Title bar" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontSize="18" MouseDown="rectangle1_MouseDown"/>
    <Image Height="22" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="8,4,0,0" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="26" />
</Grid>

And this is the C# code:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Data;

using System.Windows.Documents;

using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media;

using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

using System.Windows.Navigation;

using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace WpfApplication1

{

    ///

<summary>

    /// Interaction
 logic for MainWindow.xaml

    ///

</summary>

    public partial
 class MainWindow : Window

    {

        public
 MainWindow()

        {



InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void
 button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {



this.Close();

        }

        private void
 button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

if (this.WindowState == WindowState.Maximized)



this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;

            else



this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;

        }

        private void
 button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {



this.WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;

        }

        private void
 rectangle1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

        {



DragMove();

        }

    }

}
