I created new .NET WPF desktop application using Visual Studio 2019. The default mainwindow looks like this:

What I want is to hide the icon, which I accomplished by setting next property to Window

WindowStyle="ToolWindow"

It works, but now only Window's top black border is visible. No left, right or bottom are visible as in upper example (with Icon).

How can I add all window borders (visually the same as first example) and keep WindowStyle 'ToolWindow'? I tried adding BorderBrush and BorderThichness, but it's not the same. The result is here:

So u need to maintain `WindowStyle` and remove icon right? – Avinash Reddy Jun 13 '19 at 11:00
@AvinashReddy yes exactly. In other words use normal window (minimize, resize and close buttons in the upper right corner don't make a difference for me) as long as icon is hidden. – broadband Jun 13 '19 at 11:02

Well I looked before those links, but don't feel comfortable to mess with user32.dll. – broadband Jun 13 '19 at 11:40
