The screenshots from the link you gave look absolutely like an owner drawn window.

So, for example you can remove the regular borders and caption and painting your own non-client area. For sure you must simulate the non-client events so your "skinned" app behaves like a regular app (e.g. moving the window around by clicking and holding the LButton on the caption,...).

Looking at bit more at the screenshots, the background of the dialog and the buttons are also skinned. Skinning the background is easy and for the buttons you can use e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/cxskinbutton.asp?target=cxskinbutton[^]

In a few weeks, I will release a small shareware app, that also uses this owner drawn technique (combined with regions)... if you want to see a sample screenshot to see what can be done go to: http://www.oddgravity.de[^] (Sorry, until now I had no time for building my site Wink | ;) )
