It's finally here !
Presenting, the Wingless Themesuit

This is pre-pre-release alpha version so don't expect perfection. Didn't think I could ever complete this but here it is!

How to use this theme?

1. Copy all from http://codepad.org/wGFDY5B3 and paste it in a new class.
   


2. Go to solution explorer, it shows all forms. Make sure you have 'Show all Files' checked, then open your main form's designer.vb .
   


3. Change Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form to Inherits customwindow and build.
   

This is important as most of the controls use intensive animations which are handled by a global timer. This timer needs to start at program launch so I added that code in the CustomWindow class. So, to have animations and a good looking form inherit it. [u can do this to every form too]




Controls

• Button
  
  1. Material
     
  
  
  2. Original
     
  
  
  3. Soft
     
  
  
  4. Rounded
     
  
  
  
  


• Controlbox
  


• Checkbox
  


• Radiobutton
  


• Spinner
  


• Circular Progress
  


• Linear Progress
  


• Toggle
  


• Trackbar
  


• Textbox
  

Now, let's see the details...

CustomWindow

Features:

• Borderless Resize/Move
  


• Custom Form Shadow
  


• Full support for Aero Snap/Dock
  


• Statusbar
  


• Loading and closing transition
  

The forecolor prop is currently used for the statusbar color.

Custom Control Box

Still in dev stage. Till now only supports max,min,close. Looks weird on dark backs because of the bevels. I think I'll take care of this in the next release and probably also add some animations. Note that you DO NOT need to add this to a form which already has customwindow.

Custom Button

Showing, Original, Soft and Rounded button variants on light and dark backgrounds.

The Original and Rounded variants are 100% customizable. Just change the backcolor- it takes care of others itself!
The soft variant is a type of extra control, just for fun.
The Custom_Button class has no animations and is meant to be lightweight and easy to use.

Custom Material Button

Now this is completely based on animations and looks fabulous both on light and dark backgrounds.
There is an extra prop called FloodColor which changes the color of the flood animation in addition to back/fore color.

Custom Textbox

Use like a normal textbox.

Custom Trackbar

Note that this is more precise than any other trackbars I've seen.

Custom Linear Progress

Forecolor is progress color
Oddly, the gif above has some glitches (none in real!)

Custom Radial Progress

See it above...
Forecolor is progress color

Custom Radial Marquee

continued to next post...............

---

Custom Radio

The fun thing is that the radio 'button' moves from one control to the next based on the actual positioning of the controls.

Custom Toggle

Clicking on the toggle is the same as clicking on it's container. You can also drag the button back and forth.

Custom Checkbox

The tick mark takes the color of the controls background, thus looks good in all situations.





Notes

• Generally, all non-text controls have their forecolor as their main highlight color
  


• You need to build the project in order to display the changed backcolor of the rounded variant of the custom button
  


• There is a customization property in almost all controls which can be used to quickly change the values of some common properties of multiple controls using a single string.
  


• I have ditched colorhook completely - too tedious.
  


• The themebase has been stripped - a lot. New code has been added. Expect a new themebase release in some time.
  


• This one completely supports my Interpolation class.
  


• The link given above is a single-file link. However, if you want to keep updated about changes, there's a github link too: https://github.com/tusharpandey13/Wingless
  

What to expect next ?

• Control: Tabs 👍
  


• Control: Numeric Up/Down
  


• Control: Seperator
  


• Notifications 🎉🤗😏
  


• Custom msgbox()
  


• A complete control-box
  


• Even more animations!
  


• Optimized methods
  


• Extension of the 'customization' property
  


• Some minor control edits
  


• something secret....

OMG this theme has made me cum in my panties. I am in absolute admiration of your time consuming work! It looks amazing! Thank you so much for the share and the showcase! On a side note, why not change the dorm name to WinglessForm instead of customform? And will their be a C# class, sometimes converters mess up the code, and adding a dependency for a theme is just another drag along. I can't wait to try this out though!

that's very cool,i liked it.

[tusharthegreat]

Yes I think I will post a c# version too. Thanks.
Um, it's still alpha and still debug. I didn't care to change the names. Will do.

I am a c# learner and if you can tell me how to develop these themes then i would be much happy.

Haha. I can assure you that you know much more about programming than me. But if you want I could release a few threads on making general custom Controls. I generally prefer vb over csharp. I am learning and porting this shall be a good start.
Trust me, you do not want to learn from me hand to hand. I'm not that good a teacher. There are better people around.
Anyway, I'm just a kid.

Wow amazing dude! Im just gonna PM you about something I hope you can show me how to do :) Appreciate it!

[tusharthegreat]

Okay customization
Custom window has some props
1. Sht : this sets the status bar height. It can cover the whole form
2. Sst : boolean weather to show the status bar or not.
3. Shadow.Shadowcolor : change this to some color to get a glow around the form (maybe I disabled this, check)

I'm afraid the title bar's static. Expect update in beta release. Until then, use a label.

[SIM-2914476]

Code doesnt seem to work - I made a new class removed everything in it and pasted but theres just errors.
I think half of the code is cut out :/

[Siy]

this looks fucking amazing, is there any chance someone will translate this to C#?
