I was talking to Hockeykid, and we are both puzzling over how to make a rounded button in Blue GUI.
In the rainbow program that is included with Blue GUI it lets you create one.
But how to code it? :S

Here is a pic of what I mean:

Do you mean a rounded button as in an XP-styled button rather than a windows classic button? If so then you just need to add a manifest file to your app. Search the dpro folder for .manifest and you will see examples, one for the rainbow app called `rainbow.exe.manifest`.
It must reside in the same folder as your exe, and be the same name with .manifest added to the end.

Just looked at your screeny again and I never noticed it's Vista. I don't think it works in Vista, no idea how the rainbow editor has it enabled. Some ppl were playing with skinning gadgets (search forum) but it was never very reliable afaik.
