IChat style interface
I am trying to create an iChat-style increment (ie: message bubbles) in C # for a project. Can anyone suggest or suggest ideas on how best to achieve this? My first thoughts were with WPF, but I never ventured in that direction; I have stuck with WinForms so far and would like to if possible.

you can also just use good old photoshop.
make a balloon that is made of 9 blocks.
top left corner, top bit, top right bit, left bit, middle bit, right bit, bottom left bit, bottom bit, and bottom right bit.
making sure the middle bits can be repeated (without seeing the pattern) you can make the balloons as big as you want and thus scale it down to text
so with these building blocks:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
You can do:
1 2 2 2 2 2 3
4 5 5 5 5 5 6
4 5 5 5 5 5 6
7 8 8 8 8 8 9
