Shog, whatcha think?
He's prolly right. Commenting on your sig is only remotely related to tiling and stretching a bitmap. However, it's importance could be debated; as one of the primary representations of one's personality online, a sig carries some weight...

Yeah, true. Quite remote in fact.

This is also true. I used to think I change sigs fast. But you seem to have a new sig every day

It's usually closer to weekly. But i do swap in temporary ones from time to time when they seem appropriate. 'Tis a holdover from when i used a script to give all my emails random quotes for sigs... had to give it up when i went to web-based email
...although someone has managed to do it on CP now that i recall

What is the price in Indian Rupees? I will ask my fiancee to buy that and mail it to you so that you can sign it and send back?

Well, I'd be glad to do that Rama
But one funny thing is I won't be getting even one Rupee out of all this. But the pleasure I seek is not money, but the realization that my friends have read my first book and have partially enjoyed it, even if the only reason they actually liked the book is because they like me

p.s. I wrote it when I was 19-20. Took me a while to find a publisher. Finally found one and I had to bear 16% of printing/publishing costs. That came to Rs 96,000. Then it took them a long while to get it published. Then nothing. I ask them what happened and they said I have to market my own book!!! Blast!
Anyway last month I was chatting with Kannan Kalyanaraman and I coincidentally found my book from google. I mean there were 3-4 web sites selling my books and I didnt even know about it.
I guess I got thoroughly conned. But I don't care I'd be immensly happy if all my CP buddies read my book and tell me they liked it at least a teeny weeny little bit.
Maybe you guys can buy one book and post it to each other as a sort of chain-book.

That's lot of money. You can get MSDN universal subscription in that.

Thanks Ravi. By the way, in my demo app I have used Invalidate() without UpdateWindow(). I hope it won't be a major issue!

Hello Matt
It's a new XP theme that I downloaded from themeXP.org. I downloaded one version at work and one here. The one I downloaded at work is real cool. The one I downloaded here is not as good unfortunately.
Search for it on themeXP.org. It's called mrs or mrsXP. Download both versions. One of them is good.
Regards

Cool, I wish they had skins that didn't require third party shareware though

I think you can get away with just patching a DLL; no fancy installation UI, but workable...

TGTSoft has a replacement for uxtheme.dll which allows it to load third party visual styles.
If you buy the StyleXP software, it uses a different technique to get around uxtheme's limitations.
