Larry, Yes, I had to reset the theme for each form but the rest of dialogs and pauses already said OPTION THEMENAME &VTHEMENAME which vthemename is set in my rbase.dat. Just a couple of hours' worth of work. Well worth it if it speeds things up!

Do you still have to set themes on a form-by-form and dialog-by-dialog basis? What I really long for is a SET THEME command that you could use. All forms that had <Default> set as the themename, and all dialogs without a specified theme, would then use the theme from the SET THEME command. (Any time you specified another theme, of course, that would override the default). You could even have a THEME line in the config file. Why would this be great? 1. I don't use themes now, because it would be extremely tedious to go through an application and set the theme on 200 forms and thousands of DIALOG, PAUSE, and CHOOSE commands. How great to be able to just SET THEME in the program startup code. 2. You could write your applications so that users themselves could choose their own themes. You could save their theme selection in a table, and they'd get their own private "look" when they started the application. -- Larry
