Stop using legacy square WinForms checkboxes. Upgrade to a 60 FPS hardware-accelerated animated toggle switch.

ModernToggle Showcase

πŸ›‘ The Problem with Standard WinForms CheckBoxes

Windows Forms completely lacks a modern Toggle Switch. Developers are stuck with the 1995 square CheckBox control, which breaks modern dark mode UI layouts and looks out of place in modern desktop applications.

🟒 The Podargus Solution

ModernToggle.WinForms is a zero-dependency, anti-aliased sliding switch. It delivers smooth 60 FPS ease-out sliding transitions and full Dark/Light mode integration while inheriting directly from System.Windows.Forms.CheckBoxβ€”meaning your Checked bindings, events, and logic work out of the box!

πŸš€ Key Features

  • 🏎️ 60 FPS Sliding Animation: Smooth ease-out interpolation engine built natively in GDI+.
  • πŸ“¦ Native CheckBox Inheritance: Perfect compatibility with standard WinForms data-binding, Checked properties, and CheckedChanged events.
  • 🏒 Custom Color Overrides: Set Style = ToggleStyle.Custom to assign your exact corporate ON/OFF hex colors.
  • πŸŒ— Native Dark Mode: Adapts contrast automatically between Light and Dark mode.
  • 🎭 5 Core Styles: Full support for DashboardPremium, FluentGlass, MaterialFlat, SoftNeumorphic, and Cyberpunk presets.
