title: Re-styling the Standard toolbar in Windows Forms Applications (C# only)
body: <p>Ok, so I've finally come to my senses and stopped trying to reinvent the wheel whenever I see something that I think can look much better :P</p>
  
  <p>How can I make the Toolbar Control look nicer. Would I use GDI/GDI+ (I haven't really used them much, at all), or would I somehow inherit from the Toolbar Control and do some magic coding there to change Visual Appearance options, if that's at all possible?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not looking for code (although it would be helpful, and appreciated), but rather some simple, yet in-depth articles/tutorials or maybe even some free, sample apps with source code I can read/play around with.</p>
  
  <p>Anybody have any ideas as to how I should go about this? Just to give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, I've uploaded a screenshot that I drew-up in Real-Draw Pro:</p>
