I have seen a lot of apps that have a really nice title bar using some kind
of graphics and even the minnimize maximize buttons look cool. Is this
built in somewhere in VB.Net or do you have to buy a library?

Thanx for your input.
 
In the begining of XP there were lots of resources who showed how to get the
XP look with a resource manifest so i guess they are using a simular
tecgnique
or they are just hired a graphics designer and started with a borderless
form

You may be looking for skins. Try www.skincrafter.com for the easiest
method.

There is also www.appface.net and one more that I can't seem to recall at
the moment.

Tell me about it. Even MS doesn't rely on their products when it comes down
to it. See soapbox.msn.com - it uses Flash!
