Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: BorderThicknessProperty

This property only affects a control whose template uses the BorderThickness property as a parameter. On other controls, this property has no impact.

Non-integral values of a Thickness for BorderThickness are technically permitted, but should generally be avoided. Non-integral values will introduce subpixel rendering, which can possibly result in antialiasing artifacts.
