Finally you will get Metro Tool in Toolbox panel. So you can enjoy with your beautiful windows application any times. Below I just add some metro tool to the form.
You can try to design any pretty style UI by yourself .
*But, if you want to change the form style do following below:
1. In the Solution Explorer, expanse the Form1.vb > from1
2. Click on components As IContainer
3. Change a line from Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form to Inherits MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm
4. Press Ctrl+S to Save
5. Go back to Form1.vb [Design] you will get the result like below.
