>Yes, I have created a new form from VFP to test it and all controls are base. I then only put a button control on the form with an image, no text. I put Themes=.F. and SpecialEffect=Hot Tracking. This makes the button to appear with a full white background on the button with borders. That's the same I have when I run the form.
