Cross-platform C# application using Mono with nice UI [closed]

Question

I want to create a cross-platform C# application using Mono.

I used to think that for these purposes I need to use GTK#, Now it seems to me that it is not as attractive to users as I had thought before. A good choice would be a Silverlight (Moonlight), but it's solution for WEB and despite the fact that it can be run outside of the browser, I think that this technology not completely suitable for my purposes. I think WPF would be a great choice, but Mono does not support it.

So I'm looking for cross-platform gui toolkit for C# to build applications with powerful, animated and custom user interface.

You might want to take a look at Xamarin. It's probably the best solution for cross-platform C#, but also very expensive.

I suggest regular .NET WinForms. Silverlight is not a good option, Microsoft is not actively promoting it and WPF has currently few benefits compared to winforms (it's future is also debated).
