Hmmmm. CCL has a class called CSkinWindow But not to wory as I have decided to do away with the original design of the skinning for CCL. Rather than having to do it all yourself, the new skin engine uses hooks to modify the messages sent by windows and re-draws your application and controls. Anyone who has the ATI catalyst software installed, that is how it will work
