I've created a new website that will host my PB projects.

http://notandor.t35.com

At the moment it contains my BeatnikGUI, a package of sources for enhanced GUI under win32, still work in progress, but feel free to check it out, send suggestions, enhancements etc.

Thye XP style menu really rocks ! I was thinking to implement it, but it seems no more necessary

. Very nice piece of code.. Just a tough, try to name your internal function with a special pattern, to allow easy integration in any projects (for example prefix all interface function with
NAO_OnMenuDraw() etc..)

It's work in progress anyway, so things are likely to change, the XP style menus are a bit rough around the edges at the moment, I really need to get the shadow rendering code working, if you aren't on XP then you won't get shadows

Very nice work!

Something that I found out recently - changing the color of a progress bar may not work if you are running Win XP. If Themes are enabled, the progress bar always uses thin, green segments, no matter what color you may try to set. I also noticed problems changing the progress bar color, even without Themes, if it is a smooth type.

Keep up the good work,
Eric

Thanks for all the positive feedback

I've now almost got shadows working properly, expect an update sometime today when I've tested it on non XP platforms

Just a notice...

Your XP Menus screw up normal menus (like the system ones) 8O

I'm working on a fix for the system menu, meanwhile the new source code is online, with shadows working

First person to complain about the windows 98/ME top level menus not being flat will win an all expenses paid trip to the bottom of my street via my right boot
