While Halo is a pretty nice, general purpose skin that's pretty flexible with all of its programmatic skins, there are a few aspects of it that just annoy the heck out of me. Perhaps you guys can help me resolve one of them...
If I create a listbox (or if I'm styling the drop-down list of a combo box) I can easily add some nice rounded corners. But, we all know that the Halo skin does rounded corners by just drawing a roundrect, not by masking, thus its children can blead outside of the rounded corners, like the scrollbar and most annoyingly, the selection highlight! I was pulling my hair out for an hour trying to figure out why my drop-down list on my combo box had rounded corners on the bottom but not on the top when I remembered that the *highlight* was square regardless of cornerRadius! Argh! Is there any good solution for this? Is there a style I'm missing? Are there any Halo "upgrades" that fix this skinning issue? Can I mask some things selectively (and efficiently) to get the nice rounded corners I'm looking for? Thanks! Troy.
