Ralf:

After going thru all the frustration if getting a Windows program
to run, it's a real letdown to have the same old bland Windows look that
everybody else has.
Maybe we're getting spoiled by some of the nifty graphics on the Web,
or something, but I would really like to see some new ideas and a new
look
for this stuff.

My problem: I'm neither an artist nor a graphic designer - but I will
know
something good when I see it.

Oh, BTW. Why then did I make my Windoz GUI look kinda like Win95?
Because it
is the "no-brainer" of GUI designs. As Dave pointed out "everything's a
button".
That's also one reason I kept the widgets each in their own file: when
someone
with some real talent comes along, he or she can modify the widgets'
appearance
with little trouble.
