WinForm Design? [closed]

Question

I'm coming from a web dev background, and do ok, but with WinForms, everything I make looks like crap. Can you guys point me to resources with WinForm design principles that will make my WinForms easier on the eyes?

Thanks!

Making WinForms look "Good" is a tall order. I have found it is best accomplished with a 3rd party package. Some the more popular...

Of course, if you can move into the WPF you will have almost unlimited control on how you style the Ui elements....but, as pointed out by –nportelli, it will still look like crap out of the box.
