title: Advanced Effects in WPF?
body: <p>I've been trying to recreate <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wJtT5.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this GUI</a> purely in WPF, and I'm having problems:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gt8dg.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The shadow. The shadow on the main element doesn't show inside the fill - when using DropShadowEffect in WPF, it does. As of yet I've found no solution to this.</li>
  <li>Background images - the main element has a slight pattern in it, a diagonal one. But in WPF, I can't use background images like this. Chances are I'm just missing something.</li>
  <li>The slight inset, in the main element (at the top) - not easily replicated.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So anyway, I guess my question is, how can I accomplish these kinds of effects in WPF?</p>
