WPFSpark project was started by me in December 2009, with the aim of creating a library of rich user controls which can be used by the developer community. Initially, I ported the Circular Progress Control (which I had developed using C# and GDI+) to WPF. Eventually, as I gained more experience in WPF, I added more controls.
WPFSpark v1.0 was released in December 2011 followed by WPFSpark v1.1 in January 2012. Now, after a really long gap of nearly 4 years, I am happy to announce that the next version of WPFSpark is finally released. :) It has been ported to .NET 4.6 using C# 6.0.
I am really happy to announce that today (Jan 21, 2016), the WPFSpark library for Universal Windows Apps is released. Check this blog for more details.
WPFSpark contains the following controls
###SprocketControl SprocketControl is a circular progress control similar to the Asynchronous Circular Progress Indicator in Mac OS X. It can behave as either normal or indeterminate progress control.
###ToggleSwitch
ToggleSwitch control derives from ToggleButton and supports only two states: True or False. This control has been completely rewritten from scratch and provides many properties which allow the user to customize the look and feel of the control (e.g. Windows 10 mobile style or iOS style). Users can create their own customized styles.
ToggleSwitch Details. Also check this for new features added in WPFSpark v1.2.
###FluidWrapPanel FluidWrapPanel is another control which derives from Panel and provides the functionality of a WrapPanel with an added advantage - the child elements of the panel can be easily rearranged by simple drag and drop. It has been rewritten from scratch to accommodate children of non-uniform size.

###SparkWindow SparkWindow is a custom Window which has the look and feel of Windows 10 desktop window with an additional feature : Blur behind (Aero glass effect).

###FluidPivotPanel FluidPivotPanel is inspired from the PivotControl of Windows Phone 7/8/8.1.
###FluidProgressBar FluidProgressBar is inspired from the Indeterminate ProgressBar of Windows Phone 7/8/8.1.
###FluidStatusBar FluidStatusBar is a custom control used to display status messages to the user. Whenever the status is updated, the previous status message slides out and fades out. At the same time, the new message fades in.
