He wanted to emulate Blackbox WM window look, emulating TWM/CTWM window look would be interesting too. > guy in referred thread, but the case when it is useful is buttons in Win9x > style -- those should grow with title font size, and pixmap buttons are > absolute unsuitable here. But win-95 buttons have colors unrelated to the window colorsets (active and inactive), so unless there is a way to specify other colors in Vector, this will not help you. Actually, it is a good idea to have ButtonColorset, HilightButtonColorset in addition to the current Colorset, HilightColorset in Style. And Vector may have a syntax to choose between the window's colorset (current colors numbers 0,1,2,3) and the button's colorset. The current decoration code is totaly ignorant of colorsets, and I prefer if someone more knowledgeable starts to change it. > Just two notes. > > First, in addition to lines/rects/circles a filled polygon is needed (to > draw all those [X] and alikes).

These long names were not supposed to be a syntax, I have no problem if the syntax is mnemonic (one char per command, like 'l' for line, 'r', 'c'). > BTW, is it currently possible to "lift the pen" with AddButtonStyle, i.e. > draw two disjoint shapes? You use 2 AddButtonStyle commands, one draws the first shape and the second draws the second. The result is summed.
