All that needs to done is to update the built-in image assets here: https://github.com/a740g/InForm-PE/blob/...xp.uithemeI tried to contact MS a few months ago, but it's not that easy from Germany. The only useful email address, apart from support & co, was the address of the vice president of MS. No joke!
I may add skinning support in the future. Probably a compile-time variable to select an appropriate .uitheme file.
I wrote to him anyway and briefly explained what it was about, i.e. finding a VisualBasic developer and asking him, etc. Unfortunately, I never got an answer, which is what I feared, as things like that usually end up in the anteroom as troll mail.
Well, there's nothing more I can do from here. A phone call would of course be best, but my English is too bad for that, and it's too expensive from here.
Maybe there's someone who lives in the USA who can ring MS until they get what they're looking for: either an interested developer, or a final rejection.
Personally, I can only say positive things about MS Germany in this regard. At the time of QuickC 2.0/2.5, I wrote to MS twice about an ambiguity in the manual; back then, I wrote by letter. Both times I had an answer after three or four days. And I had contact with MS three or four more times, always positive. It was a long time ago, and MS has now become too big for letter mail.
