another early bird? [quote]are you using per pixel frames? If you are, there is no way to get rid of the default classic mdibuttons.[/quote] ah, and that raises a couple of questions. so, if I set my per pixel frames and buttons to "none" then I will override the default settings and then I can skin the rebar and mdibuttons, of say excel? Is this also impacted by other perpixel graphics (logoffdialog/shutdowndialog, etc). and, I'm wondering what

[quote] I just use the glyphs...entails a lot of magic pink, but at least I don't have to look at square buttons.[/quote] and I'm coming from the other side and not using the glyphs at all. So, I figured that if I use black as the rebar color that that might work, unfortunatly not all programs will let one skin the rebar so, back to the drawing board.

substyle question in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I'm working on a blind and have decided to include substyles. Do I really have to go through each substyle to attach the proper graphic and change painting margins for each substyle. I looks like if the format is the same and the name doesn't change then all I need to change are the painting margins, but converting bmp to png appears to require importing the graphic for each substyle? is there an easier way to address graphics that are common to all substyles???

I think we all know that something will be done to bailout the sub-prime mortage loans losses but I am glad to see that both sides is fence have qualms about passing the bill that was presented. The American people are 90 to 1 against the bailout (surprise?) on general terms. This will be tough one for those that pass the bill and will be seeking re-election with those kind of numbers.

I was also thinking along the line of who took us off of the gold standard, who took us off the silver standard, who took the cost of housing out of the cost of living index, who bailed out the S&L and freddie and fannie and now... It's hard to understand how 51% of the people can support a party that only works for the upper 11%. I also agree that it takes time for situations to resolve but the mortage industry problems have long been talked about with nothing being done

I have to agree with lil-whip on this one. the use of any racist term by anyone shows disrespect. Just because a black person uses the term doesn't make it acceptable. If it was acceptable then anyone could use it, right???

Even though I try to avoid its use, I don't think their system was broke so, why fix it. WOW, now that's a novel idea, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. like my grandmother use to say, "just cause you can, doesn't mean that you should".
