A toolkit for creating metro-style WPF applications. Lots of goodness out-of-the box.
This framework is free and can be used for free, open source and commercial applications. It's tested and contributed by many people... So mainly hit the ⭐ button, that's all... thx :squirrel: (💵, 💶, 🍺 or some other gifts are also being accepted...).
You can read the documentation on the web site: http://mahapps.com
You can also help keep the documentation up to date by submitting a pull request on the mahapps.github.com repository. If you're unfamiliar with GitHub Pages, the help guides here are a good place to start.
MahApps.Metro can use the MahApps.Metro.IconPacks to use some awesome stylish and handmade icons for better cool applications.
<iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Kind="EmoticonCool" />
<iconPacks:PackIconModern Kind="ThumbsUp" />
<iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome Kind="FontAwesome" />
<iconPacks:PackIconEntypo Kind="EmojiHappy" />
It's still possible to use the old Xaml icon resources available here (but you should use the new one for easier usage).

You need Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition to build the solution (comes with #2330), so we can use the new C# 6 features. You can use the dev-vc2013 branch if you still have the Visual Studio 2013, but no new feature or fix will be added in this branch by me™.
CheckBox and RadioButton styles adapted from styles created by Brian Lagunas of Infragistics.
If you're looking for a control that we don't have, we have some friends who have made MA.M compatible controls. Check them out:

MahApps.Metro have 4 simple templates to start with the awesome MahApps.Metro library.

Download this Templates.zip (templates are created with VS 2013) and extract it to your user template folder:
c:\Users\<USER>\Documents\Visual Studio 201x\
Now you can choose the templates at the New Project dialog.
