 # Latest Updates (time is from bottom to top)
-- Finally added a shadow to windows. Also added drop shadows to tooltips, context menus and menuitems.
+- Finally added a shadow to windows. Also added drop shadows to tooltips, context menus and menuitems. These shadows however do introduct another thing... when resizing the window, a white border apears along the axis youre resizing in. It dissapears as soon as the window has fully re-drawn (aka after you stop resizing). idk how to fix this but tbh its not that big of a deal so it can just be ignored 
 - Had to change the slider to fix the orientations and the tick placements. they now no longer have the blue trail after them. although i could try and add it later
 - Colourful Light/Dark theme has arrived! i find the Colourful light theme and original dark theme go well, but that's my opinion ;)
 - Themed the titlebar! All of the buttons' functionality (close, minimize, autothing) automatically apply to any window.

 - Added some colours to the light theme too (not sure why you'd want to use it but eh)
 - And finally improved the RadioBoxes by giving them a more circular shape, like they normally have.
 ### Some smaller updates
+- Removed the update from below because making the foreground white doesnt affect custom controls... stays black but the colours are lighter so the black looks okay with blue
 - Improved colourful light theme by making the foreground of any blue surface white instead of black so that it stands out better.
 # How to install/use
 Firstly, in your WPF project, right click References in the solution explorer bit, add reference, goto Assemblies and double click/include PresentationFramework.Aero2. this allows the use of drop shadows and stuff.

+there's also CustomToolWindowStyle which is the same as CustomWindowStyle but cant be resized, and MainWindowStyle which is the exact same as the default window but with a dark background
 
 # How to style MenuItems properly
 MenuItems are relatively challenging to auto-style, so they require just a tiny bit of effort to give them the correct theme. MenuItems use a POPUP thingy which is quite difficult to get to work sometimes. But i think i did okay tbh. However, the arrow thing doesn't auto show, so you have to account for that unfortunately. There are 2 templates: SingleDropDownMenuItem (for a menuitem that wont have children), and DropDownMenuItemStyle. the genuin only difference between the 2 is the little arrow that shows when a menuitem has children.
