Winform TabControl style

I'm once again turning to you since I can't find an answer anywhere else. I have a TabControl, but I want to get rid of the ugly orange bar on top of the selected tabs. I would also like to make the tab text BOLD when selected and NORMAL when not.

Is there any easy way to achieve that goal ? I don't want to use the Appearance Buttons or Flat Buttons.

Thanks for your help !

This appearance is controlled by the Visual Styles theme selected in your operating system. In general, users do not appreciate any program that ignores their theme settings, especially when they paid money for a custom one. But you can get what you want, you'll have to set the DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed and implement a handler for the DrawItem event. There's a good example to get you started in the MSDN Library article for this event. Just change the font assignment in that sample code.
