Although it is possible by using the WinAPI, I would discourage you from doing that.

First off, it is not easy, and it requires a pretty good practice of windowing, messaging and similar API stuffs. Secondly, you should take in account the different "styles" that the various "Windows" offers. You know, you may switch among many color combination from within the desktop settings panel.

Instead, I would recommend you to create a borderless window, so that you may place any button with worrying. Also, I'd suggest to choose a very specific styling, so that the result will be aesthetically pleasant for the user's eyes.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
