=> Subject: Styling pageframes for non-themed environments?
=> 
=> I recently looked at one my VFP apps running in a non-themed 
=> environment and was surprised how ugly the standard pageframe looks. 
=> 
=> The best solution would be to write a replacement pageframe 
=> control (see Bernard Bout's blog for great ideas) 
=> http://weblogs.foxite.com/bernardbout/default.aspx
=> 
=> However, I'm looking for a quick non-invasive solution 
=> achieved by tweaking native pageframe/page control 
=> properties like colors, styles, etc.
=> 
=> Any suggestions for improving the appearance of pageframes 
=> in non-themed environments?
=> 
=> Thanks,
=> Malcolm

As I understand it, themes are optional because the rendering of them could 
cause throughput problems on marginally-provisioned computers.  If a user 
decides to turn off theme support, that decision should be respected.  While I 
am completely in favor of good design and attractive interfaces, I would not 
stray too far from native support because it would undermine the user's 
decision and/or cause problems in the future.
