Here are two screenshots:

A full-glass window over white background:

The same full-glass window over back background:
http://trotsenko.com.ua/stackoverflow/2010_01_13%20The%20same%20Glass%20Window%20over%20a%20Black%20background.png

The question is: in WPF, how do I use TextBlock so that it will be readable on the glass?

I already tried <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="0" BlurRadius="20" Color="White"/> with no acceptable success. (Maybe I did smth wrong ?)

I didn't succeed with <OuterGlowBitmapEffect/> (I think, because bitmap effects are now deprecated. Did I do smth wrong?)

I think you could use the native DrawThemeTextEx() method in dwmapi.dll, but I don't know how to do this in WPF. All examples I found were using WinForms.
