Yes, I saw you other posts. I'm suggesting a way you can change button styles quickly. The idea is that you make a set of static styles when your program starts up, then as it runs, rather than modifying styles, you just change which style is used to draw each widget. I guess I don't understand what you're trying to do :-( What's the problem with the theme engine?
