Well makes a valid point with this.
Also while I'm at it there needs to be better ability's to color borders for things like frames for gadgets strings frames buttons and many other gadgets in general having better color control of all aspects of a gadget not just the background or text but frames even frame width? Along with changing those extra aspects.

That's why we're slowly replacing standard PB gadgets with our own versions, based on the Canvas gadget. And it helps that we're writing all our code using custom classes.
We started down this road because we needed Focus and LostFocus events for Buttons. We then discovered that wrapping each PB gadget in a class would allow us to add auto-sizing to our code. So I'm now on a mission to convert most of PB's gadgets to custom controls -- all based on the Canvas gadget.
This allows us to write fully-featured cross-platform apps, without needing to use any OS API features.

Boris I would like to discuss this further with you and see if possible what your working on here if your up to that perhaps you can help me with some controls aka gadgets that i would like to implement that are just not there.
