a quick note to let you know that there is a visual bug under any OS that is set to use the fancy windows themes, like rounded buttons and fades...

to get things right, you new to switch into Perfomance mode under XP, or set the theme to "Classic" in Win7. Yah, it will reminds you of the good old Win2000 days

that is until I find a way to set colors properly into that fancy world.

thanks goes to Brad for help finding this out.
