All,
To fix the colour bug on XP you need to create a class:
my $clsFetch = Win32::GUI::Class->new(
-name => "classxpcolour",
-color => 16,) or die("Could not create Class\n");
You then attach the class to the window when you create it. This is will
work even if the OS isn't XP. I've also got a hack to "fix" this in the XS
code - but I remember Aldo mentioning he had fixed this in later builds?
Id love to try and get themes working (even though I hate them) but my
skills arent up for the job:)
Cheers,
jez.

Right,
I've found this link which may fix the problem of Win32::GUI not using
Windows XP themes if they are available. However I don't have Windows XP,
so someone who does have WinXP and Visual Studio .NET (2003?) might be able
to try creating these crazy manifests:

That's a *dreadful* "solution".
1. It doesnt "fix" anything it just makes the background grey.
2. You used a billion labels made wide with spaces instead of using ONE
with -width => $win->Width, -height => $win->Height
3. This would probably screw up capturing events, would make resizing
excrutiatingly slow and flickery, and is generally just *bad*.
Do not do this, use one label until something better comes along that
will set the background correctly (maybe by setting window class color
properties? I have 2k so i cant check it out):
$win->AddLabel ($win,
-name => "background",
-notify => 0,
-width => $win->Width(),
-height => $win->Height(),
-top => 0,
-left => 0
);
Add the label before adding anything else. This will cause uber-flicker.

However, some people have hacked the playschool mode, to make it allow
custom themes, which was simply done by removeing the check to make sure
the themes are signed, so bow some of use have very nice looking gui's. I
found a tempary fix for the issue, but it's not very cool, for ($zzz=0;
$zzz < 1000; $zzz=$zzz+13) { $Wmain->AddLabel( -name => "back$zzz", -text
=> "
", -wrap
=> 0, -top => $zzz, ); } this will fill the window with the proper color,
it's just not the best.
Hi,
This happens with most MFC apps. I havent found a way to fix it. This
is a crazy bug, most MFC apps will probably exhibit this on windows xp.
Microsoft are crazy for not detecting MFC and auto-converting.
The only fix is to disable Playskool Mode in windows xp, which you
should have done anyway unless you're 5 years old :)

Does anyone have a way to resolve the windows xp color bug? If so, I
think it would be a wonderful thing to include.
