It strongly depends on your project type, which you probably did not bother to share with us. Try to search CodeProject articles; you will find a lot of useful material.

You can find enough material on just CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=forms+%28skins+OR+themes+OR+skin+OR+theme%29&doctypeid=1&field=title[^].

In particular:
.Net Win Forms Themes[^],
Using Themer To Skin Forms and Controls[^],
Adding custom skins for Forms in VB.Net[^],
WinForms Form Skin[^],
Fancy Windows Forms[^].

It could depend of what version of the framework you are using.
It also depends on whether you are using WPF or Windows Forms.

All of them are possible just that the way you implement would be different.
For .Net 2.0 for e.g. try http://windowsformsaero.codeplex.com/[^].
