C#-APP: Creating a Custom Graphic Design

23 New Member
Hi,

I've been working with C# for quite a while now, and I'd like to start creating programs which aren't the usual old regular Windows controls. I'd like to have controls which are graphically unique, much like this (although this screenie doesn't show any, I intend to have buttons, and sliders and various other regular controls as well):



I've searched for 'Custom UI' in the help files, but it just starts telling me how to drag and drop controls onto the form, but I don't want that, because I know how to do that. I want a form with transparencies, with customized controls.

If you guys can help, or perhaps point me to an article that can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Str!ker
