I was just playing about last week with a flat-button implmentation for =
win32lib. Its written totally in Eu/win32lib code. I host the buttons on =
an 'elastic' toolbar such that when the window resizes, so do the =
buttons. Also, you can have them change color when the mouse moves over =
them - gives them a 'glowing' effect. Latchable buttons are supported =
too - one click to press them down and another to release them again. =
But I refused to have buttons that look like labels until the mouse gets =
to them - its a visual paradigm mistake, IMHO.

As for white menus, I now know how I can do them too. Might experiment =
next week but you won't see these until 0.59.3 at the earliest.

I don't have XP so I'm not aware of what "modern" windows controls look =
like.
