Where can I find out enough info about how Brushes work to implement my own System.Windows.Media.Brush? I can handle all of the freezable baggage, but it's not really obvious what I need to override to get it to work.

Yeah, so I didn't mean that I want to use a predefined brush. I want to extend System.Windows.Media.Brush, which is an abstract class. This is all purely for my own edification. I'm not even sure what kind of brush I could make. I was just trying to learn how brushes work. As in:

public AwesomeBrush : Brush
{

    protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
    {
        return new AwesomeBrush();
    }

    ... // concrete brush stuff

}
