Hi Malcolm,

>CommandBars supports 6 VisualThemes. Each of these themes has a set of colors which may be fully or partially related to the current XP color scheme - or totally independent of the current XP color scheme.

I think I get your point. I wasn't trying to make you to stop using third party or something like that. Besides, Owner-Drawn control technique is a LOT of job. All the detail must be done by our code. So yes, Alex has been done a great job!.

All I wanted to say is, you can do that things yourself, IF (and only if) you really want to go that route. Again it's not a simple things to do.

BTW, the converting process to VFP is partly done. I don't know if there are any trouble for the rest of the code. But I have it working right now :)

VFP9 ROCKS!
