I would like to change the size of the window's icon in the xaml window.

I know that I can hide the window's title bar and create a custom title bar, but is there any way to change the icon size alone ?

I was looking for many forums and couldnt find a proper solution.

How do I change WPF Menu's icon column size?

The above link explains for menu's icon size but I want for the window's icon

For a default window (for WPF and any window in general), I'm pretty sure this is fixed and will always use the 16x16-sized icon that's available. - Jeff Mercado
so having a custom title bar is the only solution? - Coder323

The standard window chrome is handled by the Windows.

I guess the reason for that is consistency across applications which is also the reason why I dislike the Office/Ribbon replacement of the standard chrome.

In Windows 8 Metro applications there will be no window chrome so all UI will be up to you.

In Windows 8 desktop applications (and Windows 7 applications) you will need to replace the entire chrome completely.
