Create a System-tray styled box in Winforms (C#)

Question

I\'ve been hunting about for some resources on this, and I can\'t find any, so I\'ll bring in here.

I want to make a window similar in style to the quick launch box

Answer 1

You can take an normal Form and modify it to look like your screenshot:

1. Set the FormBorderStyle property to None
2. Round the corners of your form: more info here
3. (Extend the glass if you like: more info here, only Vista or higher)
4. Set the background to White and add some controls to finish it off
