I am creating a Media center. I have customized a Linux operating system, so as it boots up, it shows the splash screen and then runs a mono application (currently console app). The application itself would be the media center. Now I need graphical user interface, but I don't know how to start with that in C# and mono. Windows Forms application isn't getting it done for me, because I miss the animations and simplicity from WPF, which can't run on Linux. What would you suggest me to do?
If you're looking for just something in C# to run on it, I would suggest Gtk#. If you're looking to make your own for your system, I would suggest looking at how the more mainstream C# GUI's are setup, and try to manipulate them for your own use.
