<Controls:MetroWindow
    x:Class="ProjectfromTemplate.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:Controls="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/controls"
    xmlns:iconPacks="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks"
    Title="MainWindow"
    Width="525"
    Height="350"
    WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen">
    <Controls:MetroWindow.RightWindowCommands>
        <Controls:WindowCommands>
            <Button Content="settings" />
            <Button>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <iconPacks:PackIconModern
                        Width="24"
                        Height="24"
                        Kind="FoodCupcake" />
                    <TextBlock
                        Margin="4,0,0,0"
                        VerticalAlignment="Center"
                        Text="deploy cupcakes" />
                </StackPanel>
            </Button>
        </Controls:WindowCommands>
    </Controls:MetroWindow.RightWindowCommands>
    <Grid />
</Controls:MetroWindow>

@Torchok19081986 Can you post a screenshot? Which MahApps version do you use?

@Torchok19081986 The designer can't display the caption of a Window. So you will also don't see the window commands or min/max/close buttons. This is a designer limitation.
