Free libraries for adding some eye candy to WinForm apps?

I want to spice up some gray WinForm apps. Any recommendations for free WinForm libraries.

I have seen AquaButtons at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/buttons/aquabutton.aspx

I am looking for more versatile free libraries which add similar buttons, color gradients to panes, title bars, toolbars.. etc.

Also if you know of sample apps on the web for nice looking, maybe WPF'ish, WinForm apps which I can get some ideas from, that would be great. (I do not plan to put WPF controls in the WinForm apps)

Krypton controls are pretty good
