WPF: Customizing message boxes

I have the joy of having to develop an application using a customized CI style; at the widget level, the color/style adaptation can be done using ControlTemplates, but how can I customize the look of the standard message boxes (i.e. System.Windows.MessageBox)? (I acknowledge the fact that the file open dialog etc. cannot be customized.)

I'm not aware of how you can do it with vanilla WPF, but you could use the WPF Extended Toolkit. See here for examples: http://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=MessageBox

The free community edition includes the MessageBox.

MessageBox is a system dialog box and thus can't be styled either. If you need a modal dialog box styled then create a regular window, set WindowStyle="None" and display it with ShowDialog().
