WinBlur is a C#, VB .NET Library that allows developers to use modern blur types on their forms.

Getting Started: 3 easy steps to use WinBlur.

• Step 1. Install WinBlur from NuGET.

Install-Package WinBlur

• Step 2. Head over to your form, and import the packages needed.

using WinBlur;
using static WinBlur.UI;

• Step 3. A) If you are not using the None FormBorderStyle, then create the Form_Load event, or head over to the form constructor and add the following code:

// cntrl: The form/control you are targetting.
// blurType: The blur type for the form/control.
// designMode: The design mode (or style) for the form/control.

// this.BackColor = Color.Black;
// The code on top is recommended, but is not necessary.
// In case the code below doesn't work by itself, please change the control/form BackColor to Black/White.

SetBlurStyle(frm: this, blurType: BlurType.Acrylic, designMode: Mode.DarkMode, showWindowsTitle: true);

• Step 3. B) If you are using the None FormBorderStyle, then create the Form_Load event, or head over to the form constructor and add the following code:

// cntrl: The form/control you are targetting.
// blurType: The blur type for the form/control.
// designMode: The design mode (or style) for the form/control.

// this.BackColor = Color.Black;
// The code on top is recommended, but is not necessary.
// In case the code below doesn't work by itself, please change the control/form BackColor to Black/White.

SetBlurStyle(frm: this, blurType: BlurType.Acrylic, designMode: Mode.DarkMode, showWindowsTitle: false);

• ⚠️WARNING: If you are using the None FormBorderStyle, then create the Form_Shown event instead, and add the same code that is shown on top of this text.

• 📝NOTE: Using WinBlur on Controls is currently most likely not going to work, so this mainly just supports Forms right now.

For DarkMode, please set your Form.BackColor to a Dark color, preferrably Color.Black.
For LightMode, please set your Form.BackColor to a Light color/White color, preferrably Color.White.

There you have it! Your project now supports & uses WinBlur.
