Wpf: What is going to happen to `System.Windows.Shell`?
System.Windows.Shell is part of PresentationCore.dll (which is part of WPF). I'm sure it would be nice to move that into a new open source library as part of this effort.

You would probably want to ask this in dotnet/wpf. That being said, Microsoft has announced that _all_ of WPF will be open-sourced by the end fo 2019, System.Windows.Shell included. That being said, there are several other open-source libraries that can do roughly the same thing, today. The one I would recommend is Vanara.Windows.Shell. This library is fully compatible with WinForms. Hope this helps!

@daniel-white you can check WPF repo status on its main page: https://github.com/dotnet/wpf#status

As we continue to make sources for additional WPF assemblies available through 2019, those for System.Windows.Shell will also be made available as part of that effort.
