Basically i was wondering if ther eis an easy way to change the look fo a window. I dont want a square windows looking box if I can help it.

basically I am using the standard Host Ipp address, name quesry ina small 400 x 200 window before i start the application proper, and was hoping i could use some kinf of nice rounded windows box.

There's a "skinnable windows" examples in the blitzplus code archives. I'm not sure how well it works.

Then I doubt there's an easy way to do it. Calling GDI functions through the Windows API might allow you to manually do it... somehow... but it likely would use a ton of your CPU and be slow to boot, not to mention non-standard.
