Environment variables

RV_FRUTIGER_AERO=true # Frutiger Aero, default: off
RV_CORNER_RADIUS=2    # Corner rounding, default: 6, set to 0 for sharp corners
RV_FRUTIGER_AERO_BORDER_INSET=2 #additional inset
RV_FRUTIGER_AERO_BORDER_THICKNESS=2 #border sizes
RV_FRUTIGER_AERO_BORDERS=false #defaults to false
RV_FRUTIGER_AERO_OPACITY=0.97 #double precision, defaults to 1
RV_BORDER_WIDTH=0 #double precision, defaults to 0, common interactive controls - general non-aero border width
RV_SIM_AA=false #Try to antialias using an alpha-blended border (simulated AA, only if BORDER_RADIUS>0, default: false).
RV_SET_REGION=true #Use region to round, apparently uses X11 one-bit stencils, probably no AA but would basically be fast and work everywhere.
RV_USE_CLIPPING=false #Use clipping to round (default: false), this uses Cairo composition so should result in better AA.
RV_UNIVERSAL_ALPHA=250 #Will set alpha to controls which have alpha set to 255, this triggers the background paint behind the control; 255 doesn't trigger it.
RV_OPACITY=0.5 #Will set alpha to FORMS which have FORM OPACITY set to 1, this triggers TRANSPARENCY; default 0.97.

Drop-in WinForms compatible port for modern dotnet for Linux/BSD.

This is code obtained from System.Windows.Forms implementation from Mono by DanielVanNoord and ported to modern .net. This is a drop-in replacement to System.Windows.Forms and is cross-platform and works on Linux and on Microsoft Windows (R).

This is an experimental branch. Please refer to DanielVanNoord's original port of Mono WinForms to modern .net which is ... very fast and amazing!
