How to change the background color for toolbar, status bar andmain/contextual menu with dotnet framework 1.1

Hi

I want to "theme-enable" my app. Of course, I'm not thinking about
windows themes. I even get rid of Application.EnableVisualStyles()
call.
I want each of my controls to be customized in terms of colors/fonts,
etc.
No problem with "simple" cotrols, like textbox, etc.

The problem is with toolbars, menus, and status bars. How to change
their back color and font?

Also, changing the color/font of scrollbars seem to be even a more
serious problem.
I have a MDI parent form that host multiple MDI child forms. The
children usually get more space and the MDI parent automatically
creates vertical and horizontal scrollbars to enable the user to get
to all children forms.
No luck getting a reference to that control.

Can anybody provide a solution to at least one of my problems?

Thanks.
