Microsoft Office 2013 Look

The library provides a Microsoft Office 2013 look and feel for application components. This look is a completely skinned interface that can be applied to the various sets of controls, such as ribbons, menus, toolbars, docking panes, and more. The key features of this style are:

1. Flat, Windows 8-11-style UI.
2. Full-screen backstage view with a "back" circular button.
3. The docking pane and application frame feature large captions.
4. The user interface utilizes an accent color in the status bar, application button, backstage view, and highlighted GUI controls.
5. Ribbon background ("watermark") image support.
