Hi Try the below description use nuget to add the modernui to your project. all forms inherit from MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm setup your toolbox panels with the choose you have to use browse to navigate and find the metroframework .net dll in the packages folder. pick the one for your build so .net4 for .net 4 ..etc that gets you a toolbox panel with Metrobutton ..etc. from that panel drag drop a MetroStyleManager control onto your form. It will keep all the styling on your page the same. then you can set the style and theme once in the constructor. I suggest you make those objects public then its easy to pass style and theme to any sub windows with ease. there is a limited set of controls but should get you started. (I've just played with it for a few hours)
