How can I put a little graphic on the splitter so the user has a cue that it's there?

Sean,
You could do this by making a Style that sets a new Template for docking:Splitter.

Thanks. that's what I was trying to do.
I usually edit a template by right-clicking in Blend and selecting "Edit Template"
Since the splitter doesn't actually appear in the layout (just SplitContainer), I don't know how to reference it.
Sorry if that's a silly WPF question, but some guidance here would be most welcome.

You'd just put something like this in your Application.Resources:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type docking:Splitter}" TargetType="{x:Type docking:Splitter}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type docking:Splitter}">
... template code here ...
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>

Interesting. I guess by setting the key to the type it overrides for all objects of that type. I was looking for a place to set a style, but couldn't find any Splitter property.
I did try your suggestion:It compiles but I see no change in the splitter.
I did try your suggestion:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type docking:Splitter}" TargetType="{x:Type docking:Splitter}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type docking:Splitter}">
<Grid Width="Auto" Height="Auto" >
<Rectangle Width="25" Height="5" Fill="HotPink"></Rectangle>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
My apologies... make two changes. Take out the x:Key and change the Style's TargetType to be docking:ContainerSplitter instead of docking:Splitter. That should work.

Compiler doesn't like the Property="Template"
It looks like SplitContainer doesn't have a public Template.

Sean, it's docking:ContainerSplitter, not docking:SplitContainer.

Sorry, i thought you typo'd. That works.
Thanks!
