Answer 1

I am using a Gradient effect.  This is in my MainPage.XAML:

<Grid.Background>

<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">

<GradientStop Color="LightGray" Offset="0"/>

<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1"/>

</LinearGradientBrush>

</Grid.Background>

Answer 3

<!-- Logo Icon Style -->

<Style x:Key="LogoIcon" TargetType="ContentControl">

<Setter Property="Height" Value="24"/>

<Setter Property="Width" Value="24"/>

<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,1,10,0"/>

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">

<Grid>

<Image Margin="2.475,-1.815,2.475,8" Source="/YourImage.png" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto">

<Image.RenderTransform>

<TransformGroup>

<ScaleTransform/>

<SkewTransform/>

<RotateTransform />

<TranslateTransform/>

</TransformGroup>

</Image.RenderTransform>

</Image>

</Grid>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

In your XAML, add a ContentControl:

<ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}" Height="705.987" Margin="630,0,10,-734.345" Width="276.15" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">

<ContentControl.RenderTransform>

<TransformGroup>

<ScaleTransform/>

<SkewTransform/>

<RotateTransform />

<TranslateTransform/>

</TransformGroup>

</ContentControl.RenderTransform>

</ContentControl>

Obviously the Height, widths etc. will need to change.  I originally used Expression Blend 3 to load this image.

Answer 5

Hi,

Just a thought. I usually make use of Microsoft Expression Design Tool for design purpose and then export that design in Silverlight XAML. Check if this helps you or not.
