I have a question, when I make a program how do i put my own skin on the form so it doesn't look plain?
For one, make sure you've enabled visual styles. Call [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.enablevisualstyles.aspx]Application.EnableVisualStyles[/url] before you use Application.Run.
In the off chance that you think the standard OS style is not cutting it, check out [url]http://www.skincrafter.com/[/url]. I'm sure there are plenty of other libraries out there that enable customizable skinning, but this is the first "good" looking one I could find.
On a side note, I'm personally not too fond of any applications that make heavy use of skinning. Whenever I encounter such an app, I always look for the default or OS theme. Things such as ATI's Catalyst Control Center personally irk me, they look too out of place.
Also, why do you say "VGUI"?
Think he says "VGUI" because of Garry's Mod or the Source Engine.
I think he's talking about the VGUI system used in Steam. Not the one included in Source.
