    How to "skin" my form? (ex: Steam skin etc.)

    Hello,
    I tried to search it but I didn't found anything.

    I saw that a lot of new programs now got their own skin, for example Photoshop, Steam etc.
    This programs not run in simple windows form window, they use skin for all the forms, buttons etc.

    My question is
    How can I make such application?
    How can I style my forms and buttons?

    I am using VB 2010.

    source code example would be perfect.

    Thanks!

    Hi, im not sure what it is you are after, the same effects are generally done with forms and images on them. you could look at VB.Net theming but I have no experiance with that.

    What ever you are trying to come up with would be doable with the right images and the right controls etc. Can you purhaps explain more on what you are after?
