I couldn't see the images... I get the following:

You will need to create a manifest file for exw.exe. Create a file
Exw.exe.manifest and put something like this in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
name="RDS.Euphoria.Interpreter"
processorArchitecture="x86"
version="2.4.0.0"
type="win32"/>
<description>Euphoria Windows Interpreter</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
------------------
Be aware, though, that there are several drawing bugs, which appear to be
caused by Windows. There are work-arounds on the net, but we'll need some
changes to Win32lib to do this. For example, radio and check buttons seem to
have a black border around them when they are part of a group box. Some
combo boxes may have this problem with the dropdown box. There are some
other things, as well. It would, in fact, be better to leave your
application as a 9x looking app, until MS gives us some code that works
(when will that happen?!).
You could possibly use some of the UxTheme functions, but this would
take a fair bit of work. I think it's safe to say that that's on the
back-burner, since Derek still hasn't released the newest version (which he
promised to do oh-so-many months ago). I was going to do some work on the
UxTheme stuff myself, but I was waiting for a new-and-improved Win32lib (not
so many resource leaks, perhaps). Any time soon for that release, Derek?

Hi Elliot
Wow, thanks for the reply.
I haven't got a clue what you wrote, but it sure looks impressive.
I am _NOT_ worthy!!!
