title: Windows Forms' Appearance
body: <p>Just started using Visual Studio 2008 and was hoping to convert my VBA UserForms to VB.NET with the intent of upgrading my antiquated <code>UserForm</code> controls to newer Windows form controls that match the operating system.</p>
  
  <p>The Windows forms I create in Visual Studio look great, but when I load them in PowerPoint or Excel, the form controls look just as ugly as they did before (e.g. plain, rectangular buttons).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to employ modern controls in my Windows forms using VB.NET in Visual Studio?</p>
