Use the Clear method to clear all skins from the control. Use the Remove method to remove a specific skin. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color being applied to the background's part.

The control provides the VisualDesign property that allows you to easily change the control's visual appearance at design mode. Also, the VisualDesign property can be used at runtime to specify a visual appearance, by setting the VisualDesign property with a new generated value. The UseVisualTheme property indicates whether the current visual theme is applied to parts of the control.
