Change Title Bar Color

[Kevin L]

I am looking for a way to change the color of my application's title bar at
run time.
Is there a way to do this in .NET?

That's not supported by Windows.

You can listen in your form's 'WndProc' for 'WM_NCPAINT', but I think it
won't be easy to archieve a stable implementation.
