Windows 7 UI design: metro style window

$

Hello!

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to implement the metro style window for Win7 in c++. For example VS12 and Adobe CS6 window skins do this.

I am sure it is probably something along the lines of changing the control/button colors to match the windows bg color and making it frame-less, but I'm not quit sure how to implement the changes.

If someone could explain or point me in the right direction that would be great.

PS: To make sure my request is clear. I am not looking to develop for window 8, or looking to make a windows 8 metro app. I just want to understand how the theme is implemented in windows 7 like VS12/13 and Adobe CS6 manage to do. The flat, sleek, minimalistic skin with the blended window controls and title bar.

Thank you!
