[HELP NEEDED] Cool User Interface

[netking80]

Hi all,
I'd like to write some apps for mobile but I don't know how to have a "cool" (you know what i mean, iPhone like) interface instead of the flat one offered by .NETCF controls.

Please, help me or give me suggestions about where to find nice controls such as buttons (like the one used in phone dialers etc), scrollers, and so on.

Thanks,
Sergio

Hi all and thanks a lot.

@Ren13B : I have just downloaded fluid, but i have serious problem on creating controls at runtime (no designer or my mistake) so if you have experience i'd like to see some rough/basic example code for vb.net

@S.V.I : I'm at office, when I return home I'll send you a P.M., thanks and see you soon!

I took a peak at the fluid demo application but never really tried using the controls in any of my projects. I think the developer has stopped working on it and is concentrating on silvermoon now. There's a forum section there so you may want to add a post there to see if anyone can help you.

Im waiting and hoping one of these days Microsoft will bless us with some finger friendly mobile controls. Perhaps the next .net compact framework will provide this but they arent releasing any information about it so who knows what it will provide.
