    [RESOLVED] Different "themes"?

    I know a C# programmer that hangs around on another forum, who writes applications for the fun of it.

    But he has found a way to completely redesign the default window for his application.

    It is sort of like changing the windows themes, but just for his application, while all other apps remain the same default windows theme.

    Instead of being the default windows "close", "maximize", "minimize" buttons they have been replaced with a "cooler", sleeker looking blue circle with an "X" in the middle.

    Can anyone give me any directions on where to start to do this?

    Thank you.

    Maybe i didn't specify enough.

    I took a screen shot of an application that has a different "theme" here is a screen shot of fl studios playlist.



    Is it possible to make a C# application have a different "theme" something different from the windows default?

    You need to "own-draw" it by your own.
    Check out GDI++ or SilverLight
