I don't believe this is possible without hacking, but if you want to some examples on doing this are written here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37912/Embedding-NET-Controls-to-NotifyIcon-Balloon-Toolt

I would advice you, if this is even possible, to move to WPF (or use a mix). For WPF there is a component which allows you to use custom popups. All the information on this can be found here: http://www.hardcodet.net/wpf-notifyicon
