combo box look

[injanib via AccessMonster.com]

the combo boxes on my form makes my fom look bad. I have changed the back and
border color of the combo boxes to match the background of my form. However,
the dropdown arrows stick out like a sore thumb and ruins the appearance of
my form. This maybe a high expectation, but is there a way to change the
looks of the combo boxes. For example can you get rid of the dropdown arrow?

No and you shouldn't even if you could! Users are used to common windows
controls like combo boxes and expect them to have an arrow. It will confuse
and frustrate them if you try to make controls look different to what they
expect.
