Can anyone point me to a good skinning tutorial or book.

I would like to "tart up" a VB.Net application I put together but know absolutely nothing about skins.

There appears to be two paths I can take. Build my own images using Paintshop Pro or acquiring a skin editor like SkinCrafter. My preference is to build and apply my own images.

Any info much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ted
 
You could also buy Infragistics and use their controls. Aside from the awesome control features and extra controls you can use, there is an application skinning feature built into them to make everything pretty.

It wouldn't get you buttons shaped like pac man (or whatever) but if you just want to make your app all glossy and pretty and consistant, it's the easiest way I know of.
