The effect of Border.Background overrides the effect of Border.Effect.You set your all GradientStop to 'white',the effect is the same as just setting the background to White in here.To see the shadow, you can set the background of the Grid to white and remove the part of Border.Background.Here is my edited Grid part:
<Grid x:Name="grid" Background="White" >
<Border x:Name="Border" Margin="0,0,0,0" BorderThickness="0.5" Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height="19">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Gray" />
</Border.BorderBrush>
<Border.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="6" Direction="135" Color="Maroon" Opacity="0.35" BlurRadius="0.0"/>
</Border.Effect>
<ContentPresenter Margin="4,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</Border></Grid>
