Kt Window

A modern, theme-aware WinForms window with customizable backgrounds, styling, and layout support.

Theme-aware gradient

Use semantic KtColor values to create a background that follows the KimTools theme.

window.Background =
(
    startColor: KtColor.BASE_1,
    stopColor: KtColor.BASE_3,
    angle: 45
);

Solid background

Set a single KtColor to create a solid window background.

window.Background = KtColor.PRIMARY[50];

Gradient background

Combine two KtColor values to create a gradient background.

window.Background =
(
    KtColor.PRIMARY[50],
    KtColor.SECONDARY[50]
);

Gradient angle

Set the gradient direction by supplying an angle (0-360 degrees).

window.Background =
(
    KtColor.BASE,
    KtColor.Amber,
    90
);

Semantic colors

Use KimTools semantic theme variables so the background follows the active theme.

window.Background = KtColor.ACCENT;

Color shades

Use the color indexer to select a specific lightness level.

window.Background = KtColor.SECONDARY[20];

Custom color

Assign a hexadecimal color directly when a semantic theme color is not required.

window.Background = Color.Teal;
//or  window.Background = (KtColor)"#3B82F6";

Pattern Style | Color

Supports patterns types which blend with the Background
set PatternStyle to null to disable patterns.

// Use % operator to apply transparency to Kt-Color
window.Background = KtColor.BASE_1; // Solid Color or Gradient
window.PatternColor = KtColor.BASE_3; // Solid Color or 
window.PatternStyle = HatchStyle.LargeConfetti;
