application with a custom window interfaces(skinnable)

[surajstha]

I am trying to learn how to draw a custom UI for window ( like CyberlinkpowerDVD ,JetAudio, AIMP and many media apps, etc.) with custom frame and control buttons using win32 API.

I am developing an application(media player) right now which should have the feature of changing skin and custom UI like of JetAudio, but so far am not having much luck. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this before and knows the solution to this problem using win32 API. Some code snippet or URL link will be great.
