   I agree completely. The winXP look as in how the windows look
   is not to my taste either. It all looks a bit bulky.
   But there are many controls that look quite nice.

   Reviewing my own request for modern looking controls, I realize
   that the one thing I'm actually really missing is the "classic"
   windows flat button as used on most of todays buttonbars, but I
   want it as a separate button (not depending on a reBar or such)
   that I can use anywhere in a screen. Combined with the ability
   to give that button any color I like it will give me back most
   of the screen layouts I'm used to in my current IDE, for use in
   Euphoria.
