In VFP there's the requirement to turn off Themes e.g. in Grid headers to show colored block GUI that was thought so old-fashioned when shading and textured controls were introduced. Aero and other features were the last gasp of decoration that made people say "wow" the first time they saw it, but actually didn't make the apps easier to use.

Thank you... :)

I was using my own buttons at version before this but in this version these buttons are standard VFP command buttons...

I'm trying learn c#. I intended convert it to c# + xamarin so it would be work in ios + android too. Also resizing is a big problem too. Now it has three edition; desktop, tablet and handheld devices. Handheld devices use remote desktop. Tablets use remote desktop + native (you know there are cheap standard Win8 tablets, we tried and beginned to use, these things are cheap and good with VFP).
