I have a WPF Window with WindowStyle set to none. Is there some way I can force this window to drop a shadow (like the one you get when WindowStyle is not none)?

Hi I'm learning WPF and specifically the RichTextBox via an intellisense-type application. As the user types stuff in, I am wanting to change the appearance of certain words. I'm not really sure what is the best way to do it (I mean the formatting as opposed to the parsing). Ideally (I think) I'd like to do as much as I can in XAML ...
