I've tasked myself with a little side project here at work which is just going to be a fairly simple tracking tool, but the area I'm unsure on is dealing with the UI. I've never looked into UI things more than just basic forms and controls, but for this I want to learn how to make something that has a full look to it. In my head I'm imagining something like the clients for a lot of recent games; it has a stylistic theme to it and nothing that looks like a typical windows program. I want my utility to have stuff like animations where you click on an entry in a grid-type group and they slide over out of the way and the details show up. I'm having trouble finding out what tools/methods would be the best for something like this. I'm going to be building the app in C# with vs2013 I believe. Anyone have any pointers on this kind of UI stuff?
