public partial class MyForm : AcrylicForm
{
    public MyForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        var groupBox = new AcrylicGroupBox
        {
            Text = "User Options",
            Location = new Point(20, 50),
            Size = new Size(300, 150),
            BorderColor = Colors.DarkBorder, // Optional: Customize border color
