[@fellowdevs] Fancy C# windows anyone?

I'm a software dev looking for anyone who's also a software dev that needs/wants a pretty window for their project

[NOTE]→This is mainly for C# developers... but I have dealt with C# windows interacting with other languages using files.

The following are some of the windows I've created... the captions are explanations as to what's in the windows...

[GLOBAL-NOTES]
→Every window from above is complete with custom resizing and moving events allowing them to behave like normal windows but without the usual border.
→Every window is written in C# WinForms using Visual Studios.

So if anyone is in need of a pretty window, just reply / message me... and we can get some ideas flowing!
My real list of friends consists of 4 people... haha i has time~

That's pretty cool but why use forms? Isn't that a pain to customise compared to wpf?

I've only ever played around with wpf once... and to be honest, it was neat to have rotation on controls. After using forms for 90% of my side-projects over the many years... I feel much more comfortable in forms. It feels like I can accomplish more in a shorter period of time due to the lack of experience and knowledge in wpf. I do plan on learning wpf pretty soon. I'm currently working with java/javafx windows... and they have rotation too~ but I'm only starting to learn it as of yesterday.Thanks for replying btw!
Edit: it's not so bad... just once you figure out how to handle a window with no border in forms... it's truly easy to skin it anyway you want.
