You could simply draw an image in a program like PhotoShop and use it as your forms background. Or you could use the GDI+ classes and draw it yourself.

Do you have an idea of what you want?

I want to have a skin like the picture show. So that wherever the application installed the skin would be like that only. I want that my application has its own skin too like MSOffice 2007 they have a unique skin, Limewire and etc. So where or how to change the skin of my application?

If you use a weird color (Magenta) as the background, enable Transparency for magenta and turn off your form borders, you can completely define a new type of form design. ITs really nice

Yah its good, but i dont want a transparent form i want a skin like the picture shows So how to make like that one or where can i found skin like that

I don't quite understand why you're asking us. You've shown a screen shot of a demo of a skinning component. Buy it, reference it and then tell it to skin your controls. Simple.

[VBLegend]

That demo is just an screen shot in deviant art. So i just wondering if can get a skin like that and replace it in my application

Isn't that what it looks like anyway? At least, thats how everything looks on my computer...

I think terminology may be an issue here? The picture is of a Form that has a Windows XP Theme applied to it and the control just helps on some of the non-themeable or controls that have a problem with it so all controls have the Theme applied to it correctly.
