"css" like functionality in WinApps?

Hi

Any good idea on how to obtain a functionality like the Cascating Style
Sheet (css) provides to WebApplications when doing a WindowsApp? I want to
associate an external "document" to allow for (later) modification of the
fonts, sizes etc. used throughout the application to allow for a consistent
"look and feel"...

Any good suggestions on how this could be made?

Thanks.

What you are looking for is known as "skinning" Windows applications. Search
newsgroops for "dotnet" and "skins" and you will find some information.

Hi, Sorry if this is OT :( I have some old CSS files that have all class names preceded with tagname, like "TD.verysmall" or "span.important". I'm exeprimenting with Dreamwiever and I noticed that, when making new class, DW doesn't ask me for which tag it is. I also noticed that classes in some template css files don't have tagnames in front.

http://risky-biz.com/new/risky.html I finally got DSL service recently, but I haven't forgotten the agony of waiting for the 64th image to load before I can see ANYTHING on a page. So I will keep to the antiquated notion of designing pages that load quickly. Toward that end I have always used text links. But I like the look of buttons as much as the next guy. I'm trying a "button bar" without images for the still-experimental version...

Is the link rel="stylesheet" supposed to be real plain text, or would some word processor format such as Word/Pad work? This sample stylesheet seems garbled if downloaded and opened with Notepad, but seems to view right in browser. Could this be a problem, or cause slow loading when applied? A link for this sample "style.css" is on http://users.ntplx.net/~richw/ Thanks for any advice, Rich

Is it possible to develop inefficient CSS? I ask because when we strip all the CSS out of a dynamic page, it loads into the browser in a flash. When all the CSS is enabled, the browser seems to take (depending on the browser IE seems slower than FF and depending on the PC too) potentially a very long time (maybe up to 10 seconds) to finish laying everything out. These are not terribly complex (as far as I can tell) pages and I wonder...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
