title: WPF Drop Shadow Size
body: <p>As I understand, the BitmapEffects property in WPF is deprecated, so in order to simulate an outer glow effect, I have to use a drop shadow inside the Effects property.</p>
  
  <p>The problem with this, is simply that there is no ShadowSize property that allows me to make the glow larger etc.</p>
  
  <p>The relevant properties seem to be:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>BlurRadius - only affects the size of the <em>blur</em></li>
  <li>Direction - changes
  direction not size</li>
  <li>Opacity - defaults at 100, so changing this doesn't
  make the glow more visible</li>
  <li>ShadowDepth - sets the distace away from
  the UIElement that the glow starts, but I need this to be 0 if I want
  to simulate a 'glow'</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So it seems to me that none of these actually affect the shadow size. How then can I make a nice, big outer glow in WPF?</p>
