I am looking for someone for a short contract to help me with designing a custom theme for use in a client application. My client has given me a detailed rendering of their desired design for a winforms app to run in kiosk mode. This will involve custom buttons, font choices, etc. I would like to outsource this effort to a developer who has experience with the custom theme designer. I have some experience with it myself, so I know it can be intricate work to make it all perfect.

Hello, David,
Customizing a theme can be mainly performed by using Visual Style Builder. A general approach that is applicable to all themes is demonstrated here:https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/knowledge-base/customize-a-theme
However, Visual Style Builder provides a color blending functionality making it easy to completely transform an existing theme. While preserving the overall look of the selected theme this feature allows you to define a new color, blend it with an existing one and at the end apply it to a single control or to all the controls from the suite:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/color-blending
The blending functionality is available for:
- Material themes: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/material-themes-blending
- Crystal themes: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/crystal-themes-blending
- Fluent themes: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/fluent-themes-blending
- VisualStudio2022 theme: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/visualstudio2022-themes-blending
- Office 2019 themes: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/tools/visual-style-builder/working-with-visual-style-builder/office2019-themes-blending
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
