New Visual Studio.net question...

[VB Programmer]

I'm looking to create a WINForm application.

Is there a way to "skin" my application with a custom jpeg?
How about make the app window a shape that is abnormal (ie make a certain
color "transparent" so I have a curved window)?

Thanks!

Godd example. Can the actual motorcycle in it's full picture glory be the
actual screen shape, with buttons on the motorcycle?

You can set controls' regions too, yes.
