Coolbar and MDI ?

I am trying to put a coolbar on an MDI Parent form, instead of the old toolbar control which looks a bit outdated, the problem is that although I have the coolbar control and a sample from microsoft, I can't make head nor tail of it, all I want is a coolbar with maybe 6 icons on it, that highlight when passed over, is there any nice and easy code fragments lying about ? Has anyone here ever used the coolbar and have any tips to simplify it ? Microsofts sample doesn't work too well for me as the transparency control that comes with it won't go onto the MDI Parent Form. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

You have to combine your Coolbar with your Toolbar. Thats a way to place Icons on it.. ;)

How do I do that and still get a coolbar look, I heard you have to make the toolbar transparent but don't see any property to do this.
