Aqua-Soft ForumsI have decided to take up VB.NET as a hobby. I have already learned the basics, like classes, methods, etc.. Now I want to learn how to skin applications. Can anybody give me some help or at least point me in the right direction?

Skinning In Visual Basic .NET
I would also like to know this, but I have to learn the basics first 
Just got myself Visual Studio a week ago
If you want to skin applications, you need to research the information particular to that application. Most likely, you'll need an image manipulation/creation program, and not a programming environment.
If you are wanting to create applications that can be skinned, see what Google says These people seem to have an article that gets you on the right track to making skinnable applications.
Good luck. ...
Its very unlikely that you or anyone else on earth will ever be able to skin generic 3rd party apps that you don't have the source code of with VB.Net.
However, you'll be able to code skinnable apps with VB.Net. For this, you should have a look into the workings of WindowsForms classes, creation of owner drawn user controls and general graphics coding.
Note that all .Net apps are Theming aware as default and you might not need to skin at all if you have a good visual style...
