title: Is it possible to create simple UI effects such as drop shadows in winRT?
body: <p>I'm a noob to .net in general, working on my first metro style app and can't find a way to add a simple drop shadow to some of my UI elements. I've heard that it may not be possible to do simple UI effects such as this with winRT and was wondering if these rumors are true. If so, does anyone have a work around for this effect?</p>
