c# - Get Aero Window Colour

Question

I've made a pretty slick Windows 8-ish interface using WPF. It already turns out way better than I could wish for, but I was wondering the following:

Is it somehow possible to retrieve the current window colour set by the user? You know, you can set the Aero colour when you right-click the desktop... My plan is to use that colour for a couple of canvas elements on my GUI.

Thanks in advance!

The SystemColours class exists for this very purpose. You can bind directly to it like so

"{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowColorKey}}"
