The alignment on my tab control is set to Bottom (so the tabs are on
the bottom) but the default painting of the tabs is still as if they
where on top. I am assuming that it is already pretty well document on
how to override the OnPaint to flip things around. Can someone point
me to it?

You can use Skybound Visual Styles to draw the TabControl:
www.skybound.ca/developer/visualstyles/default.aspx

...you can completely ownerdraw the TabControl to implement the appearance
yourself:

...or you can use TabControlEX instead of the standard TabControl:
