In WPF, I want to add a userControl in/over titlebar in Window, like this:
The Red part is that UserControl, and the Green part is titlebar.
Now I hope to get some suggestions from you. Need to extend the Window class or just customize the style of the Window? It's better to provide source code.
You can do this by implementing your own title bar.
In order to do so set your window style to none:
WindowStyle="None"
This will mean that the window will have no control box (minimize, maximize, and close buttons) and you will need to implement your own.
You can take a look at the following links to get you started:

How can I style the border and title bar of a window in WPF?
Good luck
You do not need to sub-class Window. You can adjust the style for Window: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969824.aspx.

I want to create a theme like Apple Ipad in WPF,
if you know any , please let me know.
else, please help, to choose correct control for these Pictures in WPF (TabControl,ListView,ListBox,Button).
Thank you.
as for the top picture, it makes sense to use a TabControl where you need to:
change the template/style of the TabControl to center the TabItem headers. you can change the panel to just a StackPanel with Horizontal orientation or a custom panel.
as for the TabItem controls, you make the round corners of the first and last items by setting the attached properties IsFirst, IsLast (you need to create them).
the attached properties can be set either automatically by the custom panel, or manually via xaml.

I want to add to the title of a mainwindow in my WPF application a button.
I would also like to remove re minimize and exit buttons from there.
How can I do this?
Probably these links will help you:

To add a button to the window title you can use WPF customizable window control:

Hope it will help you!
Winforms can switch the ControlBox, Maximize and Minimize buttons on and off. I can't seem to find the equivalent properties to control the window ornaments in WPF. What's the correct nomenclature so I can look up this stuff in msdn?
You can change this by setting the ResizeMode of the window
EG:
ResizeMode="NoResize"
or
WindowStyle="ToolWindow"
will show no minimize/maximize buttons
In WPF, how can I hide the minimize button (only the minimize, not also the maximize...) of a window.
The code in this forum almost work for me. The behavior of that code is that it's disabled the minimize button. But, how hide it?

How about disabling the resize attribute?
ResizeMode="NoResize"
I think you would have to hide the default window title and draw your own titlebar.

and Moving a WPF Window with Custom Chrome
LearnWPF.com posted this article about converting bitmap images to XAML and using them in your applications.
The outer element of the XAML image is a Canvas. However, the Window.Icon property only accepts an ImageSource object. Does anyone know how I can 'wrap' the Canvas in an ImageSource so I can use it as a window icon?
Alternatively, is there a better way to use a XAML image as a window icon?
The WPF window Chrome(header bar, Icon etc) are part of the typical Win32 Window system. So it was not built to use with Vector Icon, you need to specify an .Ico, .png or some other supported image file to the Window.Icon property.
But if you really want to make a Vector(XAML) animating Icon, you need to think about the concept of Chrome less window. That means gets rid of the old style window chrome(WIndowStyle="None") and build our own chrome entirely with WPF, then you can place your Vector directly over the left top corner and it will just work as you do with any other XAML Visuals in the application.
