Hello Guys, What i wanted to ask is how to add different visual effects in the buttons and other areas to make it look a nicer on windows Form Application. I know It is easy on WPF using Xpression Blend but can we use same software for Windows Form? If not can we add effects on button like different effect on hover, different effect when clicked and different effect on idle stage?

Sure you can do it, but it's a ton of work. Why not use WPF?

because of the ugly and blurry text?

correct my if I'm wrong because last time I saw a WPF app it was about 1 year ago. maybe they improved something already, I'm not quite up-to-date :p

WPF rocks - there's really no need to build anything using the older Win forms technology.
