SpinGadget() does support SetGadgetColor(), so it's pretty good as-is on Windows OS.

Probably to match Mac/Linux. Remember, each gadget in PureBasic
has to be cross-platform and match the other operating systems.
Nothing is Windows-specific unless you force it with API tweaks.
> the Gadgets on PB is not update or added new Gadgets or new functions for years
For the reason I just gave above. They won't be updated to do
things that Mac/Linux gadgets don't support. Just the way it is.
> Need better IDE, better form creator with all Gadgets
Visual Studio is made by the world's biggest software company
with thousands of developers. PureBasic has 2 main developers.
How about cutting them some slack?
I know PB team is not MS team nor PB is VS.
but what I ask is turn they priority for things really matters in future updates.
3D for me is low priority, no need for now add more things, just focus in adding more functionality to what is already have.
Form creator high priority, gadgets high priority, IDE too.
I'm not a pro in PB and I thing all of us won if PB turn the things more easily without be an pro in windows API, linux or Mac.
One more thing they need pay attentionIdeasVacuum wrote:....which is another reason why an official PB set of canvas-based gadgets would be great.Shows how easy it is to roll your own

this what I talk about little things need more functionality.

There are a lot of things that could be added that can be supported by all three platforms.
Shardik has posted several examples of cross platform solutions.
It's just a matter of choice if things are added or not.

So it seems PureBasic is the black sheep of the family here.

To some extent it is. For example, #ES_RIGHT or whatever it is, is
not supported by TextGadgets because Linux doesn't support it.
Something like that; I can't find the thread discussing it ATM.

A drive toward PB coded gadgets would be a good thing i think.
It would ceratinly increase the understanding of the canvasgadget and make gadgets have a consistent look and feel across platforms.
