[Source] CheapMetro Theme / Visual Studio look-alike theme for WinForms - gigajew - Jan 20, 2017
Hey. This is my new theme. It has it's own controls, but it's also highly compatible with the default controls, like the System.Windows.Forms.Label.
Control list:
- VSCheckBox
- VSMenuButton
- VSPanel
- VSGroupBox
- VSStatusStrip
Features list:
VSStatusStrip.SetBlue(); //turns the statusstrip blue
VSStatusStrip.SetOrange(); //orange
VSStatusStrip.SetDefault(); //default
What do you think about it?

When you make your form into a VSForm, just change the inheritance on your regular form. So like this:

Triangle backcolor in "build button" is a bug or a feature?

I just printscreened a picture in visual studio and put it there, it fully supports transparent images just like the normal buttons

why didn't you put all controls classes into one and post to pastebin ?
btw it looks nice.

If you are doing it, then do it properly:
1. Border color of the window should change with activity. When focused, it should match the statusbar color and when unfocused, it's gray.
2. When you hover your mouse over 'build' button in your .gif, the back. of the image does not update with hover.
3. That resizer(or whatever it's called) in the bottom right looks ugly LOL
4. Win10 titlebar with vs theme? Looks odd.
5. Actually, the shadow color (or glow) of the vs window also depends upon acivity and is the same as border color just with a lower alpha. Just sayin' coz the default win10 shadow is also good.

Looks pretty good.
My only preference would be to pick a new color for the title bar. The white doesn't seem to fit.

Right, but that would mean the user has to change the title bar for all of their applications.

I think this is a pretty good start. It definitely has the same feel and color scheme as VS. Keep working on it :)!
