Skinning Access forms

HI!

I have a few questions about access .

1) Does anyone know if it is possible to apply skins to
Access forms ??
2) Is is possible to hide the main access windows, and just show
the forms.
Thanks

Doubtful. You can try to insert one using the Image tool from the
Toolbox. If it works, it can.

Get to the database window. Select from the menu Tools/Startup and
remove the checkbox to Display Database Window.

I want to be able to skin my application producing non-standard form shapes such as WinAmp & Windows Media Player. I have reviewed toolkits such as DirectSkin, SkinCrafter, SkinBoxer, SkinMagic etc. and though they provide skinning of existing application frames, forms and controls they do not allow for changing the shape of the form nor arrangement of the controls. I realise with .NET it is easy to provide a non-rectangular form by...

Greetings! We are working on a project that has a bunch of TrackBars spec'ed as graphic controls. In other words, they are slick looking and green. In the design phase, these controls look great on the printed page, though when I try to get the TrackBar to look the way the concept was presented, it just doesn't seem to let me tweak it. Can you please tell me what I can do to easily customize the TrackBar

I am looking for an application skinning engine that supports colour themes. Winamp is an example of an app supporting colour themes. For example in Winamp I can pick the "Winamp Modern" skin and apply one of the 30 or so color themes to that skin - so it's the same skin in different colors. I have looked at various skinning engines such as skinmagic, themeengine, directskin, etc, but none of those support color themes. Can anyone...

I saw an image of an Access 2007 database, and it was stunning; it made an Access app look like something not designed in 1995. Does anyone have experience with using Windows themes to skin/change the look and feel of their Access app? (for instance, on a terminal server)

Further to my earlier post in alt.html, I ended up preparing these pages: http://nrkn.com/skinning/ They list different ways to "skin" an HTML element (ie add rounded corners, drop shadows, various other graphical effects) using images while still allowing for viewport and text re-sizing. Anyone know of any other techniques that I've missed?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
