Is this a good thing to pursue? Suggestions for changes or alternative approaches welcome. A better name for the script would be good too!
Nice - with a good set of examples it would certainly show what Win32-GUI is capable off.
One thing I did notice - and this is a minor issue and not really related to your script - is how XP styles are handled. To get XP styles turned on by default, a manifest file has to be in the same directory as the running exe (i.e., perl or wperl) - if the manifest is missing, then you get the "old" window look - as I had the manifest for perl, but not for wperl I was getting an inconsistent look when toggling the console window option. I'm wondering if these manifest files should be installed automatically as part of the installation process?
