I use Windows 7, so my progress bars all have that green look. I\'d like something a little more simplistic though, perhaps something resembling the Windows 98 progress bar.
Step 1: Download COMCTL32.ocx (version 5). I believe Version 5 is redistributable, though version 6 I think is not. The one I linked to is probably not the redist one, but that's the one I tested these steps on.
Step 2: Customize your toolbox and select the file you downloaded from the "COM Components" tab (by browsing for it).
Step 3: Add a Progressbar from the new toolbox entries.
Note: In the designer, it will still look kind of like a newer progressbar.
