GUI Framework for .NET

What we need is a completely new collection of visual components based on and to use with the .NET environment. They shall not directly implement a specific design, rather they should be customizable at design-time as well as at runtime to implement for example style-sheet-like definitions. This on the other hand does not mean to write a CSS parser; but we should be able to tell them more than just BorderStyle, FlatStyle, ForeColor, BackColor, Font, etc. For example, each of these should be applyable to certain "states" the control could be in (a normal, a focused, a disabled, a hovered or other states), so defineable to an unknown amount of "states" defined externally. The following controls should initially be delivered using this functionality, without deriving from their .NET common equivalents: Label, Button, TextBox (which, exceptionally, may be derived from the Standard TextBox), CheckBox, RadioButton, Menu. You should develop an extensible architecture, using either a "StylishControlBase" thats always inherited and derives from Control (not UserControl!), a "IStylishControl" interface definition or a "StyleProvider" Extender Provider Object. However, we certainly welcome individual suggestions concerning architecture considerations. Please do not simply bid, but rather introduce your ideas that come to your mind when thinking about this fairly huge topic - when we get down to it, it's nearly about rewriting the Windows standard UI elements (which is, in a sense, necessary, isn't it?)
