Icons

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 via this Nuget package (but you should use the new one for easier usage).

Contributing to this project

Did you stumble upon a bug? Before reporting it to us, please check out the FAQ to see if it is actually a bug. If you can not find anything related to your issue, feel free to report it to us in the issue tracker.

If you've improved MahApps.Metro and think that other people would enjoy it, submit a pull request. Anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute.

Please take a moment to review the guidelines for contributing.

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™.

Styles

CheckBox and RadioButton styles adapted from styles created by Brian Lagunas of Infragistics.

Missing a control?
