Ive been learning C++ for a little while now. I was given a C++ book that uni students normally read, from my friend, and that got me interested in C++ again.

So im now learning the whole Win32 app with drawing and including pictures and buttons, basically GUI stuff.  
But i want to learn how i can customise my window, or make my own…  
I dont want that ugly windows box, with its minimise and maximise and close button.

So where do i start with this? do i have to create my own? or can the windows one be edited?  
Or maybe this is to advanced for me atm?  
So can someone point me to a tut that is already here, or help me out?
