I think such things are 'nice to have', but you don't really need them.
If you want to have your own styling, you have to make the functions yourself.

There are lots of code in the forums dealing with this topic.
Just search... ;)

And these functions will benefit everyones styling. I'm not just thinking in myself.
And the next time you can make a wish of your own and put a vote on it. Don't kill others wishes with negative votes :)

Note: Thanks for remind me that i can search the forums.
hmm.
You need this to open windows or menues ? I don't think so.
OpenWindow() and CreateMenu() with all variants works perfectly.

If you get some feature requests to your own programs.... What you will do ?
A request that wishes three users of thousand or this one that wishes 600 users ?
Only a question.

My post was not an attack, only well-intentioned criticism.
Many users do this with feature requests to express whether they want/need it or not.
See mk-Soft's post ;)

It's not like we don't do styling sometimes.

For windows, we use #PB_Window_Borderless and build the controls ourselves with canvas. They look the same on all OS.
Menus, for example, we create a window for each menu that contains the menu items : Also Canvas.
It's all a question of how.

Everything is possible. You just have to do it.

IMHO it would be "wasted" time and energy to burden the small team around Fred with such "extras", which aren't really necessary.

@PedroMartins: You're new here, so let me explain something: Any wishes for PureBasic have to work on Windows, Linux, and Mac, because PureBasic is a cross-platform language. So if what you wish for can't be done on all three OSes, then the wish won't be granted. Just so you know. :)

Specifically: does Mac and Linux support custom colors for all the window elements that you posted? If not, then kiss your wish goodbye.

I don't think so.
Someone who "likes to buy programs with new funcionalities" is a customer.
A programmer writes code to implement new functionalities in programs.
So just use the functionality of PureBasic to implement new functionalities in your programs.
But I forgot. You are not a programmer but a customer by your definition. :wink:
