Bringing modern styling and features to WinForms

About Alt UI

Alt UI is an attempt to create a simple, extensible control library which emulates standard WinForms controls, but with a more modern look and feel. It does this with a mix of rounded corners, an a theme that matches your system settings. For Windows 11, StartAllBack's "Colorize Everything" option is recommended.

Attributio

Special thanks to the team over at Ascension Game Dev for expanding the library to include DarkComboBox, DarkGroupBox, and DarkNumericUpDown, aswell as Robin Perris for the Original DarkUI this is based on, and anyone who contributed to this specific fork.

This repo also includes modified code from HTAlt for the DarkTabControl and Cyotek's ColorPicker controls.

How to use

Use it as you would use standard WinForms controls.
