You need to install Vista/Xp on your machine and the theme should be set to Vista/Xp.Change the FlatStyle property of the control to System.In Main() method

MSIL

static void Main()
{
  Application.EnableVisualStyles();
  Application.DoEvents();
  Application. Run(new Form1());

}

What's the point in reposting this daily? You already have 2 threads on this, both of which were answered:

Note that you've got to start with something. There's no quick solution here where someone gives you a class where you can just do new class().ShowSuperUI(). Doesn't work that way, not at all.
