Cool interfaces

[Bilal Naveed]

I'm hoping most of you have seen Winamp... I want to know how they made that Winamp app look and feel the way it does. I'm not interested in the skins that we can add on, but in the way they managed to make a really thin title bar, a tiny scroll bar, etc etc. (btw: is Winamp a fancy dialog box :confused: )

If I were doing a WinAmp-like UI, it would be a window with no caption or border, and all the UI elements drawn manually (including buttons and scrollbars). When a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message arrived, I'd compare the mouse coordinates with the RECTs of all the "controls" to figure out which "control" was clicked on. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ The Signature, back by popular demand: Buffy.
