New Visual Studio.net question...

[VB Programmer]

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 "transparent" so I have a curved window)?

Thanks!

Godd example. Can the actual motorcycle in it's full picture glory be the
actual screen shape, with buttons on the motorcycle?
