I added metroframework.dll, metroframework.Design.dll and metroframework.font.dll in the the reference and it automatically added my toolbox metro item and then I changed the system.windows.forms.form to metroframwork.metroforms.form.

I'm using this in VS 2010 and it works really good after some hands on. First, I've skipped the nuget and downloaded and build the project myself.

In VS, I then added the contents of the MetroFramework.dll to my toolbox. At first it behaved strangely when I dragged/dropped a control onto a form, it didn't stick on the form instead it showed up in the panel below the designer like a Timer control does. To solve this issue I first manually added a reference to the MetroFramework.Design.dll. Then I got it working!
