.NET IDE allow you to make nice GUI for free. There is even GDI based theme available on the internet, you can modify them to make them suits your needs.

I am looking for something native nor .NET framework.

Qt for native, cross-platform things.

You can look at https://electronjs.org/ for cross-platform web-desktop-apps. Never personally used it.

If you want a little challenge, I'd suggest using pure win32 for a GUI.

Here's an example of what I have achieved, not completed. However, it is enough for what I need.

Amazing GUI. Can you suggest me where can i learn pure win32. and where did you started learning win32. Any GUIDE / tutorial / book ?    where  did you learn from ? 

Thanks

Pure or native GUI is not a good idea to make a fresh application. It will take you too much time. The below suggestions will save your time:

1. Take a look at https://electronjs.org/ (free) that @deepzero mentioned above, quite the same as web designing.

2. For C++ only, Qt (free) or https://www.bcgsoft.com/featuretour/tour323.htm (paid).

3. For Delphi / C++ Builder, RAD Studio with its packages like VCL, FireMonkey (free) or http://www.almdev.com/ (paid).

Have a look at Sciter: If you use it in the binary form, it is free.

Some real life applications that use Sciter core engine for their UI – HTML/CSS under the hood

 

Quoting from their site:

In almost 10 years, Sciter UI engine has become the secret weapon of success for some of the most prominent antivirus products on the market: Norton Antivirus and Internet Security, Comodo Internet Security, ESET Antivirus, BitDefender Antivirus, and others. The use of HTML/CSS has allowed their UI to stay in touch with modern GUI trends throughout all these years, and will continue to well into the future.

So , I guess it directly answers your question as you mentioned ESET Antivirus also in it.

It even has its own forum where you can ask your questions.

Take a look at MaterialSkin by IgnaceMaes here: https://github.com/IgnaceMaes/MaterialSkin

MFC - Microsoft Foundation Classes anyone ?  A loose wrapper over WIN32 but powerful and expressive nonetheless.  Of course its time consuming to do precision work there...
