Skinnable UI with WinForms

[Vipul Pathak]

Hello Everyone,

I have a requirement of writing a WinForm application that should support
"SKINS" for the UI. On applying a skin, the look and feel of the application
can change drastically. Even the size and shape of the Main window and its
child controls can change.

I have NO idea about, how to achieve this in .NET WinForms.

Any Article, Link, Sample or Lecture will be greatly appriciated with Tons
of Thanks

Thanks

Hello Vipul,

I would like to invite you to try Nevorn User Interface. You can
download the suite from www.nevron.com

Our UI Library is the best on the market regarding speed and render
quality. We do not however provide(yet) a skinnable Main Form but this
will be available in the next minor release. All other skin engines
install a system-wide hooks to monitor for Win32 message which leads to
drastically slow performance. Rather than that Nevron UI overrides all
the common controls and extends their appearance greately. You may
experiment with the predefined color schemes in the example launcher
application.

Nevron User interface for .NET is a part of Nevron .NET Vision. You can
download the fully functional Free Evaluation version from:
