AcrylicUI

AcrylicUI is a modern Control and Docking Framework for .NET Core WinForms, optimized for Windows 11. Inspired by DarkUI, it has been rebuilt for contemporary Windows development to bring Windows 11 features like Snap Layout, rounded corners, drop shadows on borderless forms, and scaling for high-resolution high-DPI monitors, along with beautiful Windows 11 Acrylic UI panels.

Key Features

  • Windows 11 native features (Snap Layout, rounded corners, drop shadows)
  • High DPI support for modern displays
  • Acrylic and Glass window effects
  • Dark theme inspired by Windows 11 and macOS
  • .NET Core support (no .NET Framework dependency)
