In depth
A closer look at Windows Forms Aero
The Windows Forms Aero was designed to create a Windows Control Library that provides controls reproducing the appearance of Microsoft Aero graphic objects, like buttons and links with shield icon, textboxes with cue banner, etc. The current version contains several native Vista controls (such as Buttons, Combo boxes with cue banner, Command links, native List views, Progress bars, explorer-like TreeView...) and some modules that empower the user to exploit some of Vista's advanced GUI features (Glass sheet effect, text on glass, live thumbnails and the new Task dialogs).
