Create label with the same properties as the title

Question

Note how the letters of the title of my window glow:

How could I create a label with the same effect?

Answer 1

In WPF you can overlay ordinary text on text with a blur to accomplish the background glow effect.

Here's the markup:

<Grid Background="CadetBlue">
    <Grid Margin="20">
        <TextBlock Text="Stack Overflow" FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="AliceBlue">
            <TextBlock.Effect>
                <BlurEffect Radius="30"/>
            </TextBlock.Effect>
        </TextBlock>
        <TextBlock Text="Stack Overflow" FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Black"/>
    </Grid>
</Grid>

and this is what it looks like:
