Show default window buttons on WPF Window using WindowChrome

I have found that using WindowChrome on a WPF Window can make me put content wherever I want in the Window, which is a great thought. Now I can finally make the title bar have the same color as the rest of my application.

However, I still like the default minimize/maximize/close buttons that appear on a non styled Window.

Is there any way I can style my Window using WindowChrome yet still preserve the default buttons?

<Style x:Key="MainWindow" TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
    <Setter Property="WindowChrome.WindowChrome">
        <Setter.Value>
            <WindowChrome CaptionHeight="30" ResizeBorderThickness="5" />
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

<Window Style="{StaticResource MainWindow}">
    <Grid Background="Black">
        <MyContent />
    </Grid>
</Window>

This makes a big black window (great!) but without any min/max/close buttons as they are hidden behind the Grid (not so great). The buttons are still clickable, though, so they're obviously there.

No, I don't think so. You can set the GlassFrameThickness property to 0 to disable the buttons and then you will have to create your own custom ones I am afraid. You could refer to the following project for some examples: https://wpfwindow.codeplex.com/.

If you want Window 10 style caption buttons you could use the Segoe MDL2 Assets font family:

<Style x:Key="CaptionButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent" Width="44" Height="30">
                    <TextBlock x:Name="txt" Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="10" 
                                   Foreground="#999999" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                   RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Auto" TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="Aliased"  TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display"/>
                </Grid>
                <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                        <Setter TargetName="LayoutRoot" Property="Background" Value="#E5E5E5"/>
                        <Setter TargetName="txt" Property="Foreground" Value="#000000"/>
                    </Trigger>
                </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

<Style x:Key="MinimizeButtonStyle" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource CaptionButtonStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Content" Value="&#xE949;"/>
</Style>

<Style x:Key="MaximizeButtonStyle" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource CaptionButtonStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Content" Value="&#xE739;"/>
</Style>

<Style x:Key="RestoreButtonStyle" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource CaptionButtonStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Content" Value="&#xE923;"/>
</Style>
