Hi Harry, I've been following this thread with interest. I'm in OS 9.1/Office 2001 and have been -- so far just theoretically -- contemplating an upgrade. I seem to have been left in the dust by your latest post, however, I guess because I've never had need for the software or techniques you mention here.
Would you (or anyone else) mind explaining the following terms/procedures/software: theme switcher, ShadowKiller, the procedure you describe, and why this demonstrates Office's lack of culpability in this matter. I hope I'm not asking for too much since I don't know what I'm asking for :-). Thanks!
