WPF Window with transparent background containing opaque controls [duplicate]

by

Instead of setting the opacity of the window, set its background’s opacity:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.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"
        AllowsTransparency="True" WindowStyle="None">
    <Window.Background>
        <SolidColorBrush Opacity="0.5" Color="White"/>
    </Window.Background>
    <Grid>
        <Button Width="200" Height="50">button</Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>
