    It’s actually WinForms 😄. I’m using dockpanelsuite, DarkUI, and ScintillaNET. I forked the dockpanelsuite and DarkUI repos. My modifications to dockpanelsuite adds a docking manager and ability to use extra (non-default) theme files from a vstheme.gz format that the documentation specifies. I then extended DarkUI to accept ThemeBase objects and apply the necessary drawing/coloring styles to the controls.
