Apart from the look-and-feel of this XP Explorer style sidebar control, it would be great to have a control with lots of customization features to enable using Images and/or Gradient colors, custom images for the expand/collapsing image buttons and a rich design-time support.

Yes! That's exactly what we have in BinaryExplorerBar .NET!
