I am creating an application like “Rocket Dock. I want to
1) Change the default shape of the windows form. Like curve edges etc.
2) How can I raise event so that when I move cursor to the top of the screen, my app appears and when leave the interface it moves upward and disappear?
1) There are a couple of ways to create a custom WinForm shape
1a) Set the form’s background to an image and use a transparency key:

1b) Define a custom shape using System.Drawing and set the forms region to your newly created path:

2) Collapse your form to a very small size and hook the MouseEnter (or MouseHover) event to trigger the “entering” effect. You can hook the Form’s MouseLeave event to trigger the “leaving” effect.
