This is all i see different in your code...

Code 
Select Case Debugger.IsAttached

      'Blend in with Visual Studio background when you are debugging.

      Case True : ParentForm.TransparencyKey = Color.FromArgb(25, 25, 25) : ParentForm.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(25, 25, 25)

      Case False : ParentForm.TransparencyKey = Color.FromArgb(246, 246, 246) : ParentForm.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(246, 246, 246)

      End Select

So your just coloring the corners....

Btw it is by design you can see the colors (transparencykey) as it help when developing the theme to keep it looking 100%

That red/pink colour is shown only in design mode & not while running... So what Me & other theme creators are doing (i hope) is correct ;)

It is correct... and better/easier to see/edit your theme if you can see every pixel :)

Yes, but doesn't it look more complete when you remove the red colour in debug mode, that is when you have completed the theme?
You may also be interested at the maximize part of the theme.

I have noticed the same bugs on every theme you make. I have made this theme to help you
[+]Rounded themes have the red part at the top (look at screenshot).
[+]They use separate controls, to change the form state (maximize,normal), or they may not even include a form-state (maximaze,normal) at all

Bugs? These are not bugs.

The maximize button was left out on purpose as MorphicTheme does not currently have a resizing method. Of course, you could set the form state to maximized yourself, but your controls would be stationary. A maximize button is incredibly simple to add.

That red area that you pointed out. It's fuchsia. It's a color that nobody ever uses, so I use it as the Form's transparency key. When debugging or running the executable, this area is transparent and has no effect on the application. It is only visible while debugging.

Perhaps you should learn a little about themes before criticizing them.

Also, don't use my theme if you're going to bitch about it.
I spent a good amount of time making that and decided to release it for free.

I just don't see where you have any experience in theme-making, other than the example you've posted here.
In fact, you're trying to sell a single control for $15 when complete private themes with 10+ controls only got for about $60. I took the liberty of recreating your control, to help you.

EDIT:

Decided not to trash your sales thread. But I'm still releasing the source here.

I don't have any inspiration to make themes. that been said, Where do you get your inspiration?
I really appreciate your help/constructive criticism, I'm fixing the font issue as we speak.
Also the control was just for Xmas money

You can check my themes, all my themes have maximize button ;)

I take inspiration by searching "photoshop Web UI" on google ;) & finding a better looking UI...

Link: Complete Form - with splash screen support
[+]I have added a btc option - it may be useful for theme makers, [If you want to disable the new option you need to change project from debug to release.]
Feedback is always appreciated
[+] splashscreen - click anywhere on the theme then go to properties and change to splash screen

Due to the little interest in this project it has been discontinued. Though its a good base to learn from.
