Floating window - Titlebar background

Hi Andreas,

Are you saying those properties (BorderBrush, TabBorderBrush, TabTintColor) had no effect because the floating tool window didn't have any other tabs attached to it?

Could you use our Contextual Content features to show a status indicator?  You can add status indicators to title bars, tabs, etc.

Hello!

Yes, that is correct. 

Could you use our Contextual Content features to show a status indicator? You can add status indicators to title bars, tabs, etc.

The view has no direct reference to the docking window in the XAML file. 
The view implements IDockingWindowInitializer and IDockingWindowItemTypeProvider. In the initialize(DockingWindow dockingWindow, object item) method I store the dockingWindow as ToolWindow in a member variable. 

With the Contextual Content feature you mean Sample Browser.Docking/MDI - QuickStarts --> WindowControl?
Is there a way to set the ContextualContent in the code behind?

Hi Andreas,

Sorry I now see you are running the older 2015.1 version.  I was referring to a contextual content feature in our newer versions of Docking/MDI where you can put any custom content (like a red dot indicator, etc.) in title bars, tabs, etc.  That kind of thing might be very nice for your needs but isn't available in the older version.

Unfortunately there's no way to change the title bar background for a single window.  But you could set the DockSite.ToolWindowsSingleTabLayoutBehavior property to always show tabs for tool windows that are alone in a container.  At least that way you'd still see the tab.
