Folks, a few years ago someone here pointed me to the Blacklight
<http://mightymeaty.members.winisp.net/blacklight.silverlight/>  Drag Dock
Panel which I thought would quite simple and effective for creating a portal
style arrival screen in an app. However, I had to de-style it to remove the
ridiculous default glowing and hatching effects and weird colours so it was
suitable for a real use. Sadly I discovered it had bugs in the min/max
motion when clicking the arrows and I gave up on it. Then Blacklight 4.3
dropped WPF support and a lot of people were confused and upset.

 

The Drag Dock Panel was ahead of its time in a sense, as it had a
metro/phone feel. We'd like a similar effect on the main screen of our WPF
app where tiles show you what's available and clicking one will zoom into
that feature, possibly pushing the other icons out of the way.

 

Does anyone know of a control/kit/technique for creating this effect? I
don't want to waste a lot of time reproducing the effect manually if I can
avoid it.

 

Thanks

Greg
