Vertical progress Bar and change collour c# .net4.5 framework

Hello,

First things first, i hope i placed this in the good categori.

So my question is , how can i make a progressbar vertical?

I already found some code 

public class VerticalProgressBar : ProgressBar
{
    protected override CreateParams CreateParams
    {
        get
        {
            CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
            cp.Style |= 0x04;
            return cp;
        }
    }
}

But the problem here is that the backcolor is not plane white (so the forcolor, green is not really 1 collor) and i was also trying to make it red, i found out that removing this from the program.cs, it is possible to make it red, but all the graphics of buttons,textboxes,listboxes and so on are also changed

Application.EnableVisualStyles();

So, is it possible to make the progressbar vertical, and with a plane red color (when i fill it)?

EDIT: The real thing i want to use this is to make a vertical temperature gauge (with a little reservoir on the bottom) so i can fill it up depending on what meassurement i get from my PIC18F4550 controller

thanks in advance
