Vista glass effect in Silverlight 2.0

Question

I want to create a panel in Silverlight 2.0 with the same properties and look as the Vista glass region that you get as a window border.

I am especially interested in the blur and the frost effects.

Here's an example of this:

This example doesn't include a Blur effect, but we wont have that built in to Silverlight until v3 comes out. I think Silverlight 3 is supposed to be released by the end of July.

Anyway here's a link that shows how to use the Silverlight 3 Blur Effect: http://www.silverlightshow.net/tips/Using-Blur-and-DropShadow-effects-in-Silverlight-3.aspx
