The base class for shadow effects that can be applied to a XAML element.

Represents a two-dimensional skew.

Paints an area with a solid color. The solid color is defined by a Color value.

A ThemeShadow is a preconfigured shadow effect that can be applied to any XAML element to draw shadows appropriately based on x, y, z coordinates. ThemeShadow also automatically adjusts for other environmental specifications:

• Adapts to changes in lighting, user theme, app environment, and shell.
• Shadows elements automatically based on their elevation.
• Keeps elements in sync as they move and change elevation.
• Keeps shadows consistent throughout and across applications.

Base class that describes a way to paint a region. Parent of ImageBrush.

Represents metadata associated with a specific point in a media file.

Represents a collection of TimelineMarker objects that can be individually accessed by index. A TimelineMarkerCollection is an ordered list where the order is determined by the Time value of each TimelineMarker item contained in the collection. For more info on how this affects the collection API, see Remarks.

Provides event data for the MarkerReached event.

Defines functionality that enables transformations in a two-dimensional plane.

Represents a collection of Transform objects that can be individually accessed by index.
