Ultra Form Manager customize title bar in win forms

Eric Y asked on Jun 6, 2018 1:33 PM

I’m trying to style the form manager’s title bar to look like something close to the Windows 10 UI.

I currently have the Office2013 style and RoundedFixed as my display style but it still doesn’t look like how I would want it to be.

Another question is moving the title text to be left aligned towards the icon, as I can’t seem to find the setting for that. I would also like to know how to change the font and colour easily.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Eric,

You can control the alignment of the title by using the FormStyleSettings.CaptionAreaAppearance.TextHAlign property.

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to do with Office2013 style and why it doesn't look the way you want? Please let me know.

  Hi Mike,
  
  Thanks for the tip on the alignment, I was looking at the wrong sections.
  
  I was wondering if I could implement the Windows 10 title bar UI on my app for other OS's, to keep the look consistent. The Office2013 style isn't as close to the native Windows 10 UI as I wanted.

    Hi Eric,
    
    I recommend taking a look at our Application Styling suite, AppStylist. AppStylist allows you to easily control the look and feel of your application. It comes with many prebuilt style libraries that might give you what you're looking for, and these libraries can be modified in any way you like if you find one that is close, but not exactly what you need.
    
    AppStylist is installed along with Infragistics for Windows Forms so you can run the application and start trying things out, or you can read more about Styling Your Application in our documentation.
    
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
