Like the Drawer, icons on buttons should be pre-processed to have their colors consistent throughout the app. also maybe we should enable an property to control this color-modifying behavior:

In this case, the wrench is too dark

on the drawer it's correct

Changing font or font size does not work in designer. Please look into the matter

I suggest increasing brightness of the primary text color in dark mode to improve visibility.
thanks

I understand that the whole concept is to provide a consistent app theme, however i only need to have some forms in Light and the others in Dark!

Any workaround for this?

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm looking to extend the width of MaterialContextMenuStrip items because in my case some texts are too long and they're are cut. I've tried to modify in code some Size properties without effect for now. I was not able to find a good answer in google (And I'm not sure if it's something about the default ContextMenuStrip component or the overide with Material.Skin)

If you've any idea, let me know,
Thanks in advance,

See below

When I open the MaterialComboBox during runtime and hoover over the text items I get the following result:

When I change the function NativeText.DrawTransparentText in CustomDrawItem in MaterialComboBox to NativeText.DrawString this doesn't happen. But then you would loose functionality, which you don't want. So something is going wrong in NativeText.DrawTransparentText.

Regards,
Rob

Components:

• Drawer open/close button
• Drawer items
• Tab buttons
• FAB
• ComboBox - Done
• Selection controls

The bottom part of the Flying Action Button has been cut.

I tried changing it to transparent, or to some color, but it only shows in light gray. Is there a setting I am overlooking?

Hello 😃

My project is translated in french and english. I'm using the Winform designer to edit and add translation. Some properties in some components are not triggered when I'm editing a properties, the result is that translation and adjustement are not working and it's modyfing the default layer. See below

Steps :

1. Select your main Form. You'll find in properties list the property called "Language"

2. Modify it to 'french' for example.

3. Now modify texts, move components, do what you want in your UI you want to be changed when you're in french.

4. Save, you'll see a new resx file added to your form for the language you've selected

5. Change back the language to default one

6. It should change back everything in your UI. But we can see "Hint" are not reverted

7. If you open the french resx you'll only see the label text

For now I saw this issue on :

• Hint, UseAccent, UseTallSize properties on all components
• Text properties on TabControl

Quick search on this issue gave me this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26250972/net-localize-custom-control but not sure if it will solve this issue.

When you make the material card invisible, the shadow is left behind when you open the form. It doesn't disappear when making the card visible and invisible whilst using the form.

Have a nice interface you want to showoff to the internet? Post it here!

As always, be careful with sensitive data.

Happy Codding 😉

Topic closed and previous posts deleted. Thanks for using the lib :)

If you instantiate Cards from any event in your code, the actual display seems to be way off, any ideas why ?

`
MaterialCard card = new MaterialCard();
card.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(14);
card.MouseState = MaterialSkin.MouseState.HOVER;
card.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(14);
card.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 100);

flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(card);
`

AS you can see, the first card is instantiated in design mode, looks fine, but the 3 others look weird.

I use only the listview, how to change color scheme?

Hello,
On the vanilla textbox I used to set autocomplete, but now that I switched my app to MaterialSkin I can't do that anymore, is there a possibility to add it back ?

Thanks for your time

Edit:
I just found out this controller is made of the RichTextBox, it cannot be made of the regular TextBox to add the feature ?

Hey,
I've recently discovered a bug when using MaterialSkin 2.0.0, basically when I use a control like slider, checkbox or combobox (and maybe more) then the background isn't transparent, but black. I've tried to set it to another color but still same thing. Don't know where the error could be, I've correctly installed it.

Hello, when you type symbols in a text box the cursor is misplaced:

Version: latest v2.0.0

Hi,

I got another funny bug the last week. When your Form that you show with the method xxx.ShowDialog() contain a TextBox with the property password to true and if you have some text inside, you'll never receive back the DialogResult in your parent

Steps :
In your program.cs open a form like this

var form = new Form1();
var result = form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK;

In your form, add a TextBox with the password property = true

If your TextBox contain any text when you call

this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK/Cancel;
Close();

So your program will never get back the result.

The only workaround I find is to call something like
materialTextBoxPassword.Text = string.Empty;

Only the label background is slightly delayed changed, so its little uncomfortable.
It changed seamlessly in previous commits.

Hello, can not set my FlowLayoutPanel background color to any color, not even transparent:

in the designer it changes the color but when I compile the program the background color wont change.

I am using latest version of MaterialSkin and .NET 3.5
What should I try?

Thanks

When switching to dark mode with a card control, it stays white but glitches all the controls inside it. This is with enforce backcolor with true and false.

The current Textbox is very good, but it is not suitable for placing many.
therefore, usability improves if the previous minimal Textbox is also implemented.

I added icons, but they are very blocky. Is there a solution to this?

Hello,

Sometimes I can see 2 arrow like a little scrollbar in corner top right in my windows and when you resize your screen for example to made it bigger only its appearing>removing>appearing>removing>etc etc

I've tried to change some properties without results for now. Maybe someone have an idea to remove them definitely ? :)

PS : If I try to click on them or interact in any way, nothing happen

Hi ,

When MainForm are hidden,MainForm 's MaterialDrawer can't be hidden
this.Visible = false;

Hello,

I noticed the word wrapping is missing for the material button

Backcolor should be consistent, maybe we should force the container to get it's color from the parent backcolor?

The image bellow has the following structure:

Material Form -> Material Tab Control -> TabPage -> Material Card -> Panel -> Material Label

In this case, the panel should have the card back color

Chart isn't being shown correctly under MaterialTabPage...

Expected to be:

Current result:

Hello,

I've added a MaterialCheckedListBox in my UI. After that I've added some items in it. And when I want to clear the list to feed it with some other items, nothing happens in the UI.
materialCheckedListBoxRights.Items.Clear();
In code, "Items" is really cleaned in my case from 17 objects to 0.

Hi leocb,

Click the left navigation bar area, ALT + F4 will close the navigation bar alone, how can I avoid this problem? I hope the effect is that Alt + F4 can shut down the software, not a control.

While in design mode, deleting a card will leave it's shadow behind permanently until the design tab is closed and opened again. The remaining shadow does not affect the runtime, however, removing the control at runtime yield the same result.

Hello,
In a windows form project in VB.NET, the combobox text is not rendering properly when using light theme.
It happens after I hover the text at least once.

It is same as this issue #20 and it happens on two different computers at least.

Hi,
Please take the right to left version of material Skin
i try but i cant to set the material drawer (menu) to right to left (right side of main form )or other controls
Thanks

This also cause the white card BG to sometimes be misaligned, must have something to do with the paint event call ordering, since this shadow drawing takes place in the parent container, called by the button, see:

Hello,

At first I had included MaterialSkin as a project in our solution. I've modified and improved some of our application screen without issues.
But after a build on our server, SonarQube was crying too much, so I've decided to put MaterialSkin as a *.dll in our project.

Steps I've done :

• Cloned the Git
• Changed target framework from 4.6.1 to 4.7.2 (was also the case when MaterialSkin was included as project in our solution)
• Signed the assembly with a *.pfx
• Compiled as release - AnyCPU
• Created manually a NuGet package including the generated *.dll
• Uploaded on our local NuGet Repository
• Removed the project in our solution and replaced with reference to the NuGet package.

And since this, when I try to load Form having something from MaterialSkin, I've this issue.
The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: MainForm --- The base class 'MaterialSkin.Controls.MaterialForm' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built.

Call stack :

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.EnsureDocument(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)
--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.DeferredLoadHandler.Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextBufferDataEvents.OnLoadCompleted(Int32 fReload) 

Any idea ? I've tried classic things like clean NuGet Repo, Clean project, reboot VS19 (last available version), reboot computer, rebuild, etc.
I've also tried to create a new empty Form and just add inheritance to MaterialForm, the result is the same.
Compiling the project is working fine and launching it is also working, the UI is working well.

UP : I've done another test, removing the signing on MaterialSkin. And i've created a new Winform project with a empty Form, added my Nuget Package and inherit it, and it's giving me the same error.

Width is limited, but height is not. Simply set the minimum size on the MaterialForm code

idk but this is probably the NativeTextRenderer issue.

i have a question ,when i clsoing winform ,the form was closed ,but the process not stop,it was still runing,disposing was not disposed , it break at below :

    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

When I'm adding controls to a tab control page, they appear black. I think this behavior was also here in the first version of Material Skin but they somehow fixed it at some point. Any clue on how to fix that ?

I tried changing it to transparent and to a specific color, but it only shows in light gray. Is there a setting I am overlooking?

When setting DataSource of a combobox, I get an error System.NullReferenceException as soon as I click on the combobox.

Here is my code, working for regular .Net combobox :

    Public Sub RefreshPosition()
        Dim cmd As New MySqlCommand
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        Dim da As New MySqlDataAdapter
        Dim sql As String

        Try
            sql = "Select * from Position"
            With cmd
                .Connection = connecter()
                .CommandText = sql
            End With
            da.SelectCommand = cmd
            da.Fill(dt)

            cmbLoc.DataSource = dt
            cmbLoc.ValueMember = dt.Columns(0).ToString
            cmbLoc.DisplayMember = strTitlePNom

            connecter().Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

Current solution uses the Microsoft's GDI(+) library to draw the components, this is outdated.
One option is to ditch the GDI and use the Google's Skia lib instead, a mono-compatible port is available here and can be installed via Nuget. This would, however, break a lot of projects and would be a Major version increment and almost a complete lib rewrite. Further investigation and testing is required.

Can't use 'some' tools/controls from the reference MaterialSkin

I'm creating a project with C# targeting .NET Framework 4.7 on Visual Studio 2015.
I have included this much on my project.

using MaterialSkin;
using MaterialSkin.Controls;

public partial class Form1 : MaterialForm

var materialSkinManager = MaterialSkinManager.Instance;
materialSkinManager.AddFormToManage(this);
materialSkinManager.Theme = MaterialSkinManager.Themes.DARK;
materialSkinManager.ColorScheme = new ColorScheme(Primary.BlueGrey800, Primary.BlueGrey900, Primary.BlueGrey500, Accent.LightBlue200, TextShade.WHITE);

Tried dragging/double click controls in the toolbox to be included in the form.
What works:
Material Label
" radio button
" tab selector
" progress bar
" divider

thanks

Inspired by the work done by spozt/BMS2MB I believe the message box could be a lot better.

inspiration:

I really like how Atlassian considers this UI pattern:

Use modal dialogs when you need a user response, to reveal critical information, or to show info without losing the overall context of a page. No other interactions on the main page can be accessed while a modal dialog is active. Modal dialogs are invasive to the user's workflow as they appear above all other content. Their usage is quite powerful, as it focuses the user on a single task. -- Atlassian Design System - Modals.

notes:

• The form overlay should be called and should fade the content bellow
• Support for icons
• Support progress bars? this was deprecated by google, so should we do it?
• Support for user created modals (not required)
• The shadow beneath the modal, even tough it's nice, won't be feasible on widows forms with GDI (maybe migrating to Google Skia should be done at some point? See #37).

Text in combobox is not output normally.
