>>I agree with you that the preffered presentation for command buttons should be consistant with the overall windows settings. But there is no rule that says you must follow the dictated standards of MS. If a developer likes a red button with yellow letters he should be able to easily accomplish this. Don't get me wrong, I am not recommending non standard interface controls, but rather recommending the freedom to use them. (US first amendment) :>

Jim,

Your point is well taken. But they have the blueprint. I don't think they will consume a lot of time by accomodating important cosmetic enhancements. There are two types of beauty: natural and cosmetics. I guess VFP has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to cosmetics:
1. PageFrame doesn't have a property where to set location of the page tabs: Left, Right, Bottom.
2. PageFrame Pages can't accomodate pictures.
3. PageFrame Pages doesn't have Vertical/Horizontal Scrollbar property.
4. Buttons (Command, CheckBox 3D, Option 3D) doesn't have PictureAlignment property.
