WPF+Expression Blend
What
You asked a question, I gave an answer. If you don't know what those are, logic would dictate that you Google it.
If you want to jazz up your UI beyond the normal then it can be done with Windows Forms but, as weirddemon suggests, WPF is a better option. It means learning new things but it was designed from the ground up with UI customisation in mind, so it's easier and better to work with in that regard.
If you do opt for WPF then you can do everything in Visual Studio but Expression Blend is intended as a WPF/Silverlight design tool, so it's more suited to the design side of things than VS.
If you want to stick with WinForms then you can use basically any image as a custom Button's UI and then set its Region to the desired shape and size. There are lots of examples of creating custom controls on the web and this forum so, again, searching should be your first option.

go to toolbox chooseitems and browse for cbutton.dll and then press ok and use this as control you can make many types of buttons inshaAllah.
i really like that CButton but it give me 7 errors saying its not defined...
When starting with WPF, I found that Expression Blend is an amazing tool. I can still port most of my code over just fine and then use expression blend to create the GUI. I can make custom controls and even have the respond to specific events. It's pretty easy to use and similar to the functionality of VS. Expression Blend creates the project for you and then you can open it in VS to add any code. You can even use XAML with it. I like it a lot so far.
For anyone interested, I found this video to be extremely informative :D
