TMS Metro Controls Pack

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.

Considering that the Metro design principles put an emphasis on simplicity, but still provide fast and fluid interactions, bold and vibrant colors and a clean content, it does not come as a surprise that developers would like to integrate it with their work. Then again, it is not just about the looks and feels, but an equally strong reason to go for a Metro design is the convenience of unification across platforms.

TMS Metro Controls Pack is a component package that contains controls for generating Windows applications featuring the Metro design language. These components allow developers to change the style of UI controls form-wide or application-wide.

For example, if you were to add a Metro menu, then you can design the buttons with an automatic color adaptation of black and white or make it fully transparent. Scrolling through the menu can be done via a flat scroller style and benefit from automatic scroll handling based on child controls in a scroll box.

Based on the nature of the tool, you can also integrate caption areas with regular and caption text or a built-in progress animation. Moreover, you can integrate categories and items with checkboxes or HTML formatted text, which can be further customized with hyperlinks and custom drawing.
