    I'm using VB 6.0 and I was wondering if you could also skin your programs. So that you don't see just the basic VB skin, but that you can adjust this.. Just like you can do with Windows with for example WindowsBlinds... And by skinning, I don't mean only changing colors but also textures and shapes etc. Please help me, :confused: <<>>

      Hi... skinning.... u have to use an image as a form. I mean an image which incorporates the graphic elements of your application. this image would sit on top of your application and you can easily change the colors etc. by just using images of diff colors. For this to happen, no part of your forms shuld be visible to the users but the image. rIsHaBh

        Whow, I menth skinning your program, so like in WinAmp, you can change shapes, colors and stuff.. So you start (for example WinAmp) whit a rectangle shape and then, with some skins, you can change the whole interface (different shapes, colors, features...). So that, if you make a normal VB program, it's a rectangle shape, I want to create a diiferent shape for instance... Ok?? Now how to?? Please tell me!! eRiK <<>>

          hey, if u wanna make ur life easy just use activeskin v4.3 by softshape or better skincrafter. Both of these are activex controls and are very easy to use. Just download and install them. Or u could use VBskinner it's easier u just have to place the control over your form and voila u get a skinnable application. u can also give it an XP or Win 2003 look and feel if u wish complete with menus and buttons. :eek:;):rolleyes:
