Metro UI and C#

Question

Does anyone have any code samples in C# that implements the Metro UI? This is similar to the interfaces used in Zune and MetroTwit.

Thanks

Look the Microsoft Hello World tutorial for Metro style app...it´s easy: [Building your first Windows Metro style app using C#, C++, or Visual Basic ](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br211380.aspx#objectives) — Juan Carlos Velez, Jan 13 '12 at 21:32
Definitely have a look at [MahApps.Metro](http://www.theleagueofpaul.com/metro-03-released). It is available via Nuget. And was used to update the IlSpy UI featured in [this weeks Channel 9 Show][2] [2]: http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/This+Week+On+Channel+9/TWC9-Nov-11-2011 — Sitnam, Nov 14 '11 at 09:50

You should check out the Metro Toolkit on codeplex. It's a open source UI framework aimed at creating UI controls based on Metro.

Thanks for the link. Do you know of a way to do it without using a WPF application? – user723217 May 29 '11 at 06:21

It's definitely possible to accomplish using WinForms but you'll be writing a lot of graphics code to manually create even the trivial metro effects. Do weigh your time/effort appropriately with that one. My 2 cents. – abhilash May 29 '11 at 13:01

Just a heads up Metro Toolkit contained copyrighted XAML code reversed engineered from MetroTwit (my project) and redistributed without permission. – LongZheng Jun 20 '11 at 15:09
@LongZheng Side Note.. I love MetroTwit :) ! – abhilash Jun 24 '11 at 03:46

There are Microsoft Silverlight themes available for the Metro UI. Cosmopolitan is the one you want, you'll find it via Tim Heuer's blog:

There is a nice little jQueryUI Metro theme generator that can be found here: jQuit Metro Theme Builder

I have used it and it works well.
