Hard question

[Inline-CODER]

Hi! I'm a developer and I wanna ask, maybe, the Creators of Winamp for myself, but i couldn't...
and my question is:
How do the Winamp windows draw on desktop with shadows(?),
I couldn't solve this problem in correct way, because i have got some bad redrawing and... i don't know what to do further, please help me to solve this REALLY BIG problem

(my program supports PNG)

I think the inner core of Winamp + plugin for modern skins has the engine..

Actually, my progam has an Engine to, but the problem is in DRAWING, how do they draw it?

From what I can remember, its some layered window trickery, only available on win2k and above.
