I like the color and black and white approach. I do use tool tips. The user is defining which bmp files to use. I am going to add a app property to disable the button graphics and use the description in the caption property again.
Any good ideas for a source of bmp files that can be distributed royality free in a commercial application. I looked at buying Corel's but the lic. agreement seems to restrictive. I need bmps and icon files that I can use in my apps and not have to worry about getting sued.
