XAML menu background color overrides window background color in WPF with Expression 3?

Pretty easy to solve. In Blend 3. Under the Layout tab, there is a horizontal alignment and vertical alignment property.

Both of these were set to stretch. Have no idea how they got that way. But, in any case they should be set to Left and Top respectively.

That puts the menu in the top left hand corner and solves the problem of the menu trying to take control of the background color of the entire window.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
