Hi, I want to make a bordless form but with shadows, docking ability, win7 effects, (ex. photoshop custom style, zune custom style....) I've found this project but it contains many bugs (Metro UI (Zune like) Interface (form)[^]) like on minimizing and maximizing it automatically resized, and when using high contrast theme the title bar of the form appears with the control box... I want to know how many programmers are able to make these new styles? and use it visual studio? (I want it in winForms)

From what I understand you have to be running windows 8 in order to build metro apps.

The easiest way will be to run windows 8 in a virtual machine with visual studio 2012 installed.

From there Visual Studio should have a template that you can work from.
