Thank you DevExpress for building one of the most powerful, feature rich control suites on the market. Your superior support staff is second to none! I can't even begin to measure the amount of time the controls have saved me. And to see the look on people's faces when they experience the controls first hand, is priceless!

Vector Skins
The DevExpress WinForms vector skins (Basic, WXI, the Bezier, Office 2019 Black, Office 2019 Colorful, Office 2019 Dark Gray and Office 2019 White) are based entirely on SVG images, which allows DevExpress UI controls to look perfect on any screen with any DPI settings. You can create new variations of these skins using our updated Skin Editor - without the need to rely upon a third-party graphics editor.
Vector skins ship with UI elements that allow users to instantly change the skin palette and re-paint a skin at runtime. You can easily create a custom pallete to apply a corporate style to your application.

Skin/Theme Editor
The DevExpress WinForms Subscription ships with a custom Skin/Theme Editor – the same editor our designers use to transform images to DevExpress skins. From bitmaps and colors, to fonts and individual offsets – you can easily create and/or modify the options that serve as the basis of an app-wide DevExpress theme.

I can't imagine what my life would be like day to day life without the DevExpress controls. I have used almost every DevExpress at onetime or another. DevExpress controls provide the richest UI experience with so much ease to implement. I can't thank the DevExpress team enough for the joy you have brought to me, and my job as a developer.
