I was thinking of making a custom skin for my application.
I looked into Aero like application like this one.

But wait a problem it will not work on XP :cry:
So my question is do you know were i can get free and good looking GUI.
Or can i make the aero work some how on XP.
Any ideas will help.
MiniTech made one that is supposed to work in XP, though I haven't tried it. It is in the CodeBank.
Do you know any skins i can use.
Thank you in advance :)
Please any ideas....
I spent 5 hours on google
Tried word Ribbons but could not get them to work.
And all the ones that i found are in C# which i do not like.
Does someone know any ribbons controls in vb.net.

I found this but it is in VB6 which i do not have.
What should i do now :( :confused:
Ribbon controls are "in C#" or "in VB.NET". Pretty much the entire .NET Framework is written in C# but that doesn't stop you using it, does it? .NET is .NET. You can use libraries written in any .NET language in any .NET project.
Thank you for the reply jmcilhinney
When i download http://www.codeplex.com/Ribbon
and open the System.Windows.Forms.Ribbon {.} Microsoft Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file
i get this in the solution explorer
I also added the System.Windows.Forms.Ribbon.dll to the project
jmcilhinney do you know what the problem is?
Thank you in advance :)
I would guess that you're opening a solution that contains C# projects in VB Express. In that case you won't be able to view the demo app unless you use C# Express or VS, but that doesn't mean that you can't reference the DLL containing the Ribbon itself and use it in your own VB projects. Like I said, that's basically what you are doing now with the .NET Framework: referencing DLLs that were originally written in C#.
Thank you so much jmcilhinney i finally found out how this Works.
You are a Programming GOD :)
