If you want I could help you a bit with c# Trainer. If you were using vb, coding in c++ may be hard. PM me if interested, I can direct you to few good tutorials.

Well it depends on what you want. If you want just a normal winapi dialog you can use visual studio's designer or handle your own WM_COMMAND calls from the button ID.

If you want something like the oldschool ones without having to use GDI/DirectX, you can use DIBs. First, you'll need to declare a BITMAPINFO struct variable and fill the bmiHeader with the width and height from your dialog, and the size, planes, and bitcount. Then, you'll need to call CreateCompatibleDC() on the device context of your hwnd to the main window. Then, use SelectObject() and as the second parameter call CreateDIBSection to have your dib on your dialog. As the fourth parameter, you'll need a buffer of bytes that is width*height*4.

Then, during each WM_PAINT call, you'll need to call BitBlt on your hwnd.

To change the dib and get effects like starfields/plasma/whatever, you'll need to come up with some form of math to manipulate pixel by pixel on your dib buffer. Code below to show you how to set pixels using the dib buffer in case you got confused.

Research the DIB format a little bit so you can understand the rest like bitcount, planes, and size. It stores data in rows and a few other quirks.
