The answer is


Here's an example on how to achieve this:

    <Grid DockPanel.Dock="Right"
      HorizontalAlignment="Right">

        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
                HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                VerticalAlignment="Center">

            <Button x:Name="MinimizeButton"
                KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop="False"
                Click="MinimizeWindow"
                Style="{StaticResource MinimizeButton}" 
                Template="{StaticResource MinimizeButtonControlTemplate}" />

            <Button x:Name="MaximizeButton"
                KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop="False"
                Click="MaximizeClick"
                Style="{DynamicResource MaximizeButton}" 
                Template="{DynamicResource MaximizeButtonControlTemplate}" />

            <Button x:Name="CloseButton"
                KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop="False"
                Command="{Binding ApplicationCommands.Close}"
                Style="{DynamicResource CloseButton}" 
                Template="{DynamicResource CloseButtonControlTemplate}"/>

        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</DockPanel>

Handle Click Events in the code-behind.

For MouseDown -

App.Current.MainWindow.DragMove();

For Minimize Button -

App.Current.MainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;

For DoubleClick and MaximizeClick

if (App.Current.MainWindow.WindowState == WindowState.Maximized)
{
    App.Current.MainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
}
else if (App.Current.MainWindow.WindowState == WindowState.Normal)
{
    App.Current.MainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
}

You can also create a borderless window, and make the borders and title bar yourself
