Have a look at this MSDN forum article.

Are you referring to Windows Aero Forms? or Windows Aero style in general?

Windows Aero style

Alright well you need to understand that disabling it with an application disables the whole theme, not just for your application. So we begin with a little api. We need to map a function from the dwmapi.dll.

    <DllImport("dwmapi.dll", PreserveSig:=False)> _
    Public Shared Sub DwmEnableComposition(bEnable As Boolean)
    End Sub

then to use it you use this

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        DwmEnableComposition(False)
    End Sub

This should successfully disable the theme.

Dude, thank you very much! but i still have a little problem!
When i copy>paste this i get this error

"Type 'DllImport' is not defined."

When working with DLL Declarations like that you have to import the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.

Or write

 <System.RunTime.InteropServices.DLLImport("dwmapi.dll", PreserveSig:=False)>

Thanks Adam, that's simpler for me.

"My" version!
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class TestMo
<DllImport("dwmapi.dll", PreserveSig:=False)> _


and it works!

Thank you!!
