Another thing to do for XP is set the background color of the program menu to the value of "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\Menu" so that it appears white rather than grey when the user clicks on a menu. What I do is this:
on openStack
if (word 1 of the systemVersion = "NT" and word 2 of the systemVersion > 5) then
set the uMenuColor of group "Main Menu" to \
queryRegistry ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\Menu")
else
set the uMenuColor of group "Main Menu" to empty
end if
end openStack
Then in the script for each menu button I put the following:
on mouseDown set backgroundColor of me to the uMenuColor of group "Main Menu" set backgroundColor of button "Help" to empty set the uTargetButton of group "Main Menu" to abbr name of me end mouseDown
on mouseUp --pass mouseUp set backgroundColor of the uTargetButton of group "Main Menu" to empty pass mouseUp end mouseUp
on mouseRelease mouseUp pass mouseRelease end mouseRelease
You could probably optimize this so that the script could be attached to the group but I was in a hurry to get it working and just attached it to each button.

Just wondering if there's any way to get Windows XP-style buttons when running a standalone under XP? Instead my buttons are just taking on the background color of my stack or card, which looks awful. How can I make buttons take on the default system colors? Or can I?
Thanks,
