though I realize level


Guy, there's just no way to show you how to do this in a small example app. The amount of code required to build an entirely custom "skinnable" form is quite large, just for a small sample.

We've been trying to tell you that the skill level required to build this yourself is years away. He's not trying to turn you off from programming. He's trying to stop you from turning yourself off to it by taking on a project that's just plain old too much for a beginner such as yourself.

for example, I read 1 app took 1,767,000 lines of code


So? "Lines of code" is almost a meaningless metric. There's a huge difference between 100 lines of good code and 100 lines of total garbage than won't even compile.

1.7 million is nothing compared to the codebase for Windows Vista, weighing in at an estimated 45+ million lines. I leave it to you to evaluate if thats more on the "good" side than the "garbage" side.

I'm not an idiot. (entirely)


It's not a statement of you being an idiot or not. This is about the amount of experience required to pull off a level of work. And that experience only comes with writing code for Windows Forms for a number of years to develop the level of understanding you need to begin such a project.
