DTPicker - Custom skins?

I am developing a small Alarm and Timer software, for my school project. Obviously Screen Design is one of the issues I need to care about, because it is important in Software design.

* I have provided my Screen Capture of my program *
(Despite my newbieness to Visual Basic 6.0)

Anyways,

The problem lies within the form design. Well, not actually. Its the objects in the form, that is hard to customize HOW THEY LOOK.

As you see in the screenshot, there is TWO DTPickers. Displaying times, for the users to set. You can also see 4 buttons with customized design.

I don't like the idea of how DTPickers look. They look like a normal windows form, which DOESN'T suit my program's GUI designs.

I haven't seen any of FANCY DTPickers, but I think, there is a way of customizing DTPickers, just like the form, buttons and etc...

I don't really mind the CheckBoxes, like how they are dipped (sunken) into the form, but I would really appreciate it if Experts tell me the way to customize its interface.

*** Problem: Summary ***
1> Customization of DTPicker. i-DADA doesn't like the idea of 3D appearance.
2> HOW DO I CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF DTPicker?
E.g.
DTPicker's border
Colours
Can i replace it with *.BMP, like the Form (Shown in the pic)

*** Experts: ATTENTION! ***
IT will be very helpful if you link, post or send me any relevant data or vb.projects. I really want to get a high mark in the Software Developement Design course.

Thank You All :D

We can't exactly help you if you don't explain exactly what you mean by "default interface" for the DTPicker or Checkbox.

Please provide more information.

It's been fixed, sorry, because I was @ school, I couldn't write properly under the hardcore stare by my teacker :(

By the way,

The DTPicker is the 2 things in my form, that has UpDown next to it, with time written on it.
