Visual Styles possible in vb?

Hello, recently I was looking through the system properties and came accross
system.visualstyles namespace. This appears to contain all of the visual
style elements in xp and I was wondering if it is possible to change these,
either using the way I found or another. When I tried to change one of the
elements, I got an error saying that it was read-only. Any help or info
would be appreciated, thanks

No, you cannot change the visual styles. The system's visual styles are
used.
