Uxtheme skinning

Hello everybody...
I am trying to apply some parts of the WinXP skins in panel controls. I am
using the Uxtheme wrapper which you can download from www.codeproject.com
and it is good.
If I want to do what I explained, I have to pass a string to a function
which makes the drawing. The string refers to the part of the skin.
I have made this very well, but I can't find what string is the correct to
draw the StartButton and the task buttons of the Taskbar.
Please help me with this since I need it too much.

Thank you very much...

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...

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,...

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.
