[ros-kernel] The quest for UxTheme - part 1

[KJK::Hyperion]

Howdy all. As promised, I'm starting to work on an initial UxTheme 
implementation. My aim is to provide, at the same time, an initial skeleton 
for a future uxtheme.dll that can actually load Windows XP visual styles, 
and an implementation of the UxTheme API drawing in the classic Windows 
style, to allow everyone (primarily Wine and ReactOS, but anyone could 
benefit) to keep a single codebase for styled and non-styled versions of 
GUI controls (Microsoft wants you to write two code paths for each control 
- styled and non-styled. My UxTheme could be used as a reference 
implementation for non-styled drawing). Currently, I have implemented only 
a minimal set of features (it can draw almost all parts and states of the 
Button class), and I have successfully tested against it the (useless, 
minimal) PSDK sample application for visual styles, and I'll add it to our 
CVS repository as soon as it compiles with MinGW. Any help (collaboration, 
testing, pointing me to applications that use visual styles and could be 
used to test this, etc.) is appreciated
