Costomize Forms?

How can I apply a skin to a form like NeoPlanet or WinAmp?

create your own skins
set the form borders to 0 and load the pic

Yeah but, the minimize/maximize/close and the title bar, I can't do something with them!

you can create everything
creat 2 little buttons
in one put
me.windowState = 1 (minimize)
other
put me.windowstate= 2 (maximize)
me.windowState = 0 (normal)

make little tiny images representing your minimize, maximize icons..

Use PictureBoxes or ImageBoxes for everything and load them according to a certian name.

Code:

---

picTitleBar = LoadPicture("TitleBar.bmp")

---

For Min, Max and Close buttons, just add commands to each

Code:

---

Private Sub picMax_Click()

    Me.WindowState = 2

End Sub
