A quick and easy way is to use a 'manifest' file to bound your application to the XP or Vista version of comctl32.dll (version 6.0, maybe 7.0).  This will, more or less, automatically update your forms from the old-school style to the new XP-style visual themes.  Anything more complicated, and it will be an involved project.
