Net Seal Theme

Older Versions

Hey guys! I'm working on a new free theme (Net Seal Theme) and I would like some input from you all. I want to know what controls you use or see most often, or what controls you would find useful in your applications. So far I have implemented the following..

CheckBox
TextBox
Button
Label
ProgressBar (Seen in the preview at the top right)
RadioButton
ComboBox
GroupBox
TabControl (Currently known as the Navigator in the panel)
TrackBar
Seperator
On / Off Control
Form Skin
RandomPool

I plan on adding a few more at some point in time, so that I can use this theme in my licensing panel.

ListView
NumericUpDown
DateTimePicker (Not looking forward to that)
ContextMenu
Paginator (Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, Next, etc..)

Possible Additions:
StatusStrip
CheckBoxList

Am I missing anything significant? If so please let me know! Also if it matters, I am going for a style in which I am referring to as "Complex Metro", think of a more stylized version of Metro but without being too flashy.

Looks nice. Always been a fan of your work.

Download please ??
I really want it :3
Can you PM or Something the link ?
Thanks !.

@aeonhack
If this is the legit aeonhack, i'ma cry.
Always loved you're work + themes and all.
I absolutely love the theme as well, colors match perfectly.
I don't really have many improvements to visualizations, it's perfect in that aspect.

But,

A list box would be really handy
Options to hide each little component from the control box such as the maximise button
A context menu/some sort of drop down menu would be amazing!
A color dialog/Color picker
I know it may be a bit too much but custom dialogs would be bliss. Like a custom Filedialog and print dialog.
I don't really use them, but a custom seperator would be good as well.

Awwe, thank you - it is me! ^^

I will be making a custom listview and scrollbar control.
You can't hide each control button, but you do add them individually so you could just not add the ones you don't want.
There will be a themed contextmenu!
I may do custom dialogs later on, but if so that will be for a 1.1 or 1.2 release.
There is a separator control already. ^^

YESSSSSSSSS.
I love you.
And, my bad, i only noticed the separator a little bit after i posted.

What's this for?

The Theme looks flawless, and very professional. Good job.

This is just amazing.

Amazing job. This is one of the only themes I have seen with a combo box.

Also, is the color for the progress bar customizable?

@aeonhack
Is the "Powered by NetSEAL" a part of the theme?
If it is, can you release a premium version?

You could change it pretty easily in the code, but the initial release won't have properties for changing colors - I will add that in later.

That's just there to demonstrate the usage of the double label control, it's not part of the form skin.

Either I am blind or there is no way to edit threads on MPGH (at least with my current ranking / membership) so new previews and controls will be posted as they are added.

New Controls:
Paginator
Virtual keyboard

Previews:

Ah, all goods.
And wow. You're awesome.
Is the tabpage just horizontal, or can we have it from the top? like a normal tab control.
Maybe if you get around to it, it would be pretty cool, and i have a few projects i could use this in.
Now, i seem to have forgotten about it, having never used it. And i don't have access to VB at the moment.
Can you possibly add the control that allows the form to have multiple forms within.
