What strikes me as odd is that in Beta 1 of VFP 7.0, the hottracking buttons sort of faded into the background. They were just pictures or text that got a thin border when the mouse went over them, indicating it was a button. The coolest about this was that the backgroundcolor of the buttons automatically became that of the underlying form.

I wonder why they removed this....
