Window without client area in WinAPI

On these screenshots we can see unordinary window frame in different applications:

In all these windows client area is resized or/and replaced. Of course, it works with Windows Aero theme only.

I want to resize and replace client area of my window or hide it at all if it is possible. (C/C++ and Win API). How can I do it?

That effect is accomplished using the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea function.
