hey guys I wanna know how to do loops in C#. does anyone have liks to train that. (btw im new)
I'd suggest starting a new help thread focused on that question.
thanks!
but does anything in this thread really help me customize one?
Probably not, I was going to type something about that
Customizations in winforms are pretty limited.
You can explore the properties section of that page @makkan there are some options, they usually stick out
Examples, ForeColor, BackgroundImage, BackgroundColor
If you want more of that metro style it'll be custom work, or a control library of sorts.
there are no NuGet packages with any sort of resemblens? either?
If you want to do heavy customizations I'd strongly consider wpf
Probably there's some control library you can use, I'm just not aware of them. Winforms' strength primarily is hammering out functioning code with minimal pretty.
Something like this may be a good compromise http://thielj.github.io/MetroFramework/ @makkan
There's at least one gotcha for that repo.
Due to the non-intrusive installation procedure, support for creating your first form isn't optimal. The recommended procedure is to add a new "Windows Form" to your project. Then press F7 to switch into code view and change the base class from "Form" to "MetroFramework.Forms.Form". Switch back to design view and you should be able to add more MetroFramework controls from the Toolbox as usual.That being said the look of the control layout you showed is called
Metro; which led me to a google search for winforms metro controls, so if that control library doesn't work for you, you can follow some research down that path.only problem with this framework is the fact it has a very noticable thumb. which is one of the things im not looking for otherwise it was a great suggestion!
Really if you want to bang something out fast winforms is great; if you want something to look good support layouts well, etc, wpf and successors are the way to go.
