I'm wondering if you can somehow add ink effects to bitmaps in MUIs. I ask because my MUI has a bitmap that needs a shape to it other than rectangular.
Unfortunately not, in my experience.
In order to work around this "limitation" I created a bitmap with the same bg colour as the dialog window and the rect I need it to cover and copyPixel into this my desired image. Windows XP Themes complicate this because dialog background colours are different from 95/98/ME/2K. Using BuddyAPI, if you parse this registry setting you can get the correct (current) colour:
baReadRegString("Control Panel\Colors", "ActiveBorder", "error", "HKEY_CURRENT_USER")
HTH,
