I'm doing some Drag and Drop operations, and I want to use a visual copy of the element I'm dragging for the cursor. It's easy enough to get a VisualBrush of the element, but I have no idea how to turn this into a cursor. I've read the Jamie Rodriguez blog posts, but his solution isn't quite what I'm looking for because he essentially ...

I am using a VisualBrush as part of a control template. I want the image to not be tiled or scaled, and the top-left corner of the target visual to be aligned to the top-left corner of the rectangle I am filling.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the selected item has a dark border, a lighter, inner-border, and then a gradient background. Currently, I'm using two borders around ...
