Krypton Navigator

19 Different Modes

With so many modes you can replace many different controls with the KryptonNavigator. Just like a
traditional tab control it can show tab page headers as can be seen in the first mode below. But unlike
the Windows Forms version you can modify the appearance of each individual tab header. So you can
display errors and other state information directly by changing the header font and colors.
