well, then use the default font. shouldn't really break things.
I'd be glad if you just added the property of 'font' to <textcontrol>
definition for now... implementation left to future, and besides, it
probably is not hard to implement on Win32 only... I could do it.

ok, then, I'll be happy if you just add the property of 'tooltip string' to
<buttoncontrol> definition...

is that a yes? :)
currently, if one specifies multiple buttons with same name, only last of
them gets used (others get thrown away) - probably exactly this will change
when you fix the 'all controls must be present in theme.xml' limitation.
other:
I was thinking... if one makes button that should toggle 'windowshade mode'
- how it would be implemented in the XML? Probably something like this:
<ButtonControl Name="ThemeChange"> <!-- to windowshade mode -->
<Position Rect="150, 7, 158, 15">
<ControlBitmap Rect="0, 0, 32, 8" Name="Buttons"/>
<ChangeTheme File="shade.xml">
</ButtonControl>
if one clicks it ui transforms to one specified in shade.xml...
preferably really fast, as if the shade.xml is pre-loaded and it's window
already created.
