 This could be achieved by using wxPython with wxUniv/MSW port of wxWindows.
However nobody has built such a beast yet to the best of my knowledge and
wxUniv itself is still in beta (i.e. has a few known bugs - but we're working
on it...)

 Painting is as easy in wxPython/MSW as in win32ui: basicly none of them
provides a way to have completely custom-painted controls (they both use the
standard Windows controls and they can only be customized in a very limited
sense of the word). wxPython/MSW is able to do anything win32ui does so if
this is enough for your purposes, try it out. If not, see above: wxUniv paints
all controls itself so you may have whatever look you need. If you need more
information about this, please ask on comp.soft-sys.wxwindows as this is
rather OT here.
