Hi Roger, I think you're right about the Bevelbuttons, although I do like the rounded bevel look. The trouble with coding the thing for me is that I'm not really sure how to start on this. Secondly, I guess you'd need a normal button state, pressed, and dimmed. Unless there is an easy way to make those from the normal graphic? Ultimately, I have sort of abandoned the idea of writing cross platform software. I do have a couple of apps for clients that I need to update and enhance from time to time (mostly freebees at this point). I don't want to spend more time and money trying to fix something that shouldn't be broke. And this isn't a complaint, just trying to do the best with what I am given. Like doing scrimshaw with a axe..:-) Mel _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
