Do you want a new look of forms standard controls in Visual Basic?  
This is a simple example on how to create a border-less window in VB6 with using Picture Box and Image controls.

A quick guide on how to create the form.
1.) Start a New Project-> Standard EXE

2.) Click on the form and Press “F4″ to show the Properties Window.
      Then set the following properties.
      Borderstyle – 0 - None (Hides the border)
      ControlBox – False - (Hides the Max/Min/Close buttons)
3.) Add (1) PictureBox, the same size with form. This will serve as main form.
4.) Add another (1) PictureBox, but now it should be inside the first PictureBox. This will serve as our content view.
5.) Add (3) Image Controls, that will be the tabs or buttons.
6.) You may create your own pictures based on your styles.


I used Fireworks to design the form. Anyway, the pictures is included the sample program. It may just be as simple as you want but you may also create your own style to fit your needs.
