Ever seen them trainers and patchers with mint window shapes and ****? This is a basic way of reoving the gay tool bar and changing the shape of your window.
You may think it sounds hard.. ITS NOT.

Anyway, simple function I made (I make most of my windows 200x300 size) looks like this:

Code:

void Region()
{
HRGN Region = CreateRoundRectRgn(20, 27, 180, 280, 15, 15);
SetWindowRgn(hWnd, Region, TRUE);
}

I call this at case WM_PAINT and it creates a region on the window with rounded edges. There is a better way to remove the toolbar but I can't be arsed explaining it.

There are a few more basic shapes on MSDN.
The only problem now, is that there is no toolbar to drag th window :/. So, add this to the message handler for your main window:

Code:

case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0 );
break;

You can now drag it by the window.

But, i can't seem to figure out were to put the codes etc.

Can anyone help me?

You can get the draggin window thing in a timer to check for it every 100ms

if thats what your trying to achieve
