I like to add a custom button in WPF Native Window title bar without editing the style of the Window.
Is it possible? If yes, please share some ideas.

Mahapps is a UI toolkit for WPF and they make this super easy:
mahapps.com
Easy install using NuGet GUI or the Packet Manager console:
PM> Install-Package MahApps.Metro
I was able to do the install and customization in less than half hour with Mahapp.

I new for WPF application. My requirement is to change the color of the title bar to blue color. I search a lot for the same thing but I failed to find out the way to achieve it.
Thanks.
You need to set the WindowStyle="None" and then build your own window as this question How to create custom window chrome in wpf? suggests.
You need to use your own custom chrome. Can use community projects like MahApps.Metro to help you with this.
I am creating WPF application, I want ribbon menu like this link. I am using MahApps Metro style window. How to add a ribbon menu in the metro window. I tried lot of codings, but didn't work. So please kindly send a procedure or coding for the ribbon window. Thanks..
You could try to use Fluent.Ribbon.
It's open source, should work well with MahApp.Metro and the showcase application shows both being used together.
Just download the showcase application, unzip it, run it and have a look at the tab below the ribbon which has the "Test" header. Said tab contains a button "Open MahMetro-Window" which you just have to click.
The most recent showcase application can be downloaded from appveyor. Please note that there is no separate zip package for the showcase application. There is only one zip package containing everything you need.
Disclaimer: I am the current maintainer of Fluent.Ribbon.
Ribbon control which is similar to the Microsoft Office Ribbon Bar is available in WPF.
Check this.

Does anyone tried hooking up PRISM 5 and Mahapps.Metro? Is Mahapps compitable with PRISM? I see its MetroWindow is inheriting from Window though.
Kindly guide me what could be the issue I may encounter going forward.
I have just made a quick sample in order to verify they would be compatible. You may find the HelloWorld QuickStart with the MahApps.Metro package configured:
HelloWorldWithMahApps
In order to configure the Shell View, the configuration would be straightforward on the xaml page and its Code Behind, where you would make it inherit from MetroWindow with no major problems.

I am trying to setup an Metro UI styled application, which includes MAHAPPS.METRO, AvalonDock (Metro style) and MS Ribbon component. Unfortunatelly, there is not much information about Ribbon UI styling especially for Metro UI. So basically my questions are... how to style MS Ribbon according to Metro UI on Win7?
The Fluent Ribbon has a Metro style. The control is open source, so you can make any changes to the control, or the styles as you see fit. I am trying it. It is currently the best open source option I have found.
