I''ve been searching, to no avail, for information on how applications such as WebZip completely alter the appearance of windows and their controls with customised textures. I want to do this for my installation/config app for the learning experience (and to pretty it up a little). I''m just looking for a few links and site refs, I don''t want to take up anyone''s time pleading for detailed descriptions or walk-throughs. Much appreciated, VoidHawk. ------------------------------ What we learn from history is that that we learn nothing from history. ------------------------------
