What's up, RMers?

Dear LORDY... this looks like a mess:


However, it is a beautiful mess.

In essence, I set up all the widget backgrounds to allow for bitmap loadable graphics to be used for the window backgrounds and the title and dropdown combo bars.  Along with that, the graphics can be stretched to fit the area or set to tile.  With the 32x32 dot-dot-dot graphic I used, I basically set window areas to be 'stretched' to fit, while the title boxes are tiled. 

OH... except the center "Start Menu".  In that case, I only affected the title bar and not the drawing area.

On top of that, the title and dropdown combo bars also allow for color gradients, such as the right-most combo box.  Okay, its the ONLY combo box.  But it does a gradient shift from pale blue to a yellowish tint.

AND the list boxes can have bitmaps behind the text, using lined bar images in the basic list box, one of the scrolling list boxes and one within the Dropdown Combo box.

All of this is of course optional.  And my next target will be the Window Closing [X] buttons, the [V] Expand button for Combo Boxes, and the Scrollbar arrow buttons.

After that... who knows?
