title: How can you make a .net windows forms project look fresh?
body: <p>I'm working on a visual studio 2005 vb.net windows forms project that's been around for several years.  It's full of default textboxes, labels, dropdowns, datagrids, datetime pickers -- all the standard stuff.  The end result is a very gray, old-looking project.</p>
  
  <p>What would be the best approach to making this project look fresh and snazzy?  I'd rather not rewrite the entire solution with all brand new forms objects, but would that be avoidable?</p>
