Fancy GUI

Hey there.

One of my friends want me to make him a gui, so i was wondering, how do I make it more graphical? I mean, in many programs I've seen the buttons look nothing like the ones I'm able to find in C#. Is there any way I can create my own buttons? or what about the bar on the top?

Thank you for reading :)

You can design your forms and control using GDI+ (System.Drawing). Of course there are number of commercial products - take a look at - http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/Skins/

Or you could use Windows Presentation Foundation , that's what it's there for.
