The first restriction that i found is how can i set a shadow effect on some control? I' know it that i can do that, so I searched a little bit and i found a Gavin Wignall’s post which explains very well all the steps to set a shadow effect.

I think that are important to known the following configuration details that i found in the Gavin Wignall’s blog:

• BlurRadius – How blurred the shadow is.
• Color – Shadow color.
• Direction – The angle of the light source creating the Shadow Effect.
• Opacity – The strength of the shadow in terms of darkness.
• ShadowDepth – How far away from your object the Shadow will appear.

To add a shadow effect on control, you need to go to Effect configuration on Appearance configuration area and then click New. After that, you need to select DropShadowEffect into System.Windows.Media.Effects namespace.

I will continue to learn more about Expresion Blend, and if i find some interesting tips or tricks, i ensure that i will post.
