Changing Visual Elements’ Angles with SkewTransform

SkewTransform enables you to skew a visual element for the specified angles on both the X-axis and Y-axis, simulating 3D depth for 2D objects. The following code demonstrates how to apply to a ListBox a horizontal skew of 15° and a vertical skew of 30°, where the center point is established by CenterX and CenterY properties:

<ListBox Name="SkewListBox" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"         Style="{StaticResource ListStyle}">    <ListBox.RenderTransform>        <SkewTransform AngleX="15" AngleY="30" CenterX="50" CenterY="50" />    </ListBox.RenderTransform></ListBox>

Skewing is probably the most impressive transform if you then try to use visual elements and controls, ...
