How to make the Rad NavigationView control translucent

How to make the Rad NavigationView control translucent, as shown in the WPF demo app, any idea?

 

Thank you for your attention

Hi Javier,

This translucent (acrylic) effect is applicable for the Fluent theme only and can be applied to a Window, RadWindow or Popup.

The requirements for achieving the desired results are the following:

• having the Fluent theme applied;
• hosting the RadNavigationView in any of the above mentioned controls, for which this acrylic effect is applicable;
• setting the PaneHeaderBackground and PaneBackground properties to Transparent.

I prepared a sample project for your convenience, which uses the RadWindow as a main window and has the Fluent theme applied using StyleManager.

Please, find the project attached to my reply, give it a try and let me know if you are happy with the result.

Best Regards,
