New Visual Studio.net question...

I'm looking to create a WINForm application.

Is there a way to "skin" my application with a custom jpeg?
How about make the app window a shape that is abnormal (ie make a certain
color "transparen t" so I have a curved window)?

Thanks!

actual screen shape, with buttons on the motorcycle?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
