Most the custom chrome is drawing now. I just have to set the correct drawing of the form buttons and then tidy up the status bar area.

The caption and borders and working fine and it even draws correctly when you choose all of the different possible FormBorderStyle options. It also honors the various other form properties such as ControlBox, MinimizeBox and Icon.

I need to finalize the drawing of form close, min and max buttons so they appear in the same style as the Office 2007 applications. Then I want to try and improve the appearance of the StatusStrip.

It would be nice to get it to merge into the border area for a more pleasing appearance. Hopefully this will be all finished off next week so I can complete the coding phase and starting updating documentation.
