what about those css-modified form elements, esp. buttons? you can change the color, borders, etc. all easy enough to modify when drawing buttons with GDI, but what about image-based xp theme controls? fall back to the square buttons?

Now I can't even remember why I decided to write this.

Oh, yeah the light gray buttons on my router(3crwe51196)'s admin pages.

X-Fry: I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

X-Bender: I'm tired of this room and everyone in it!

X-Fry: I'm gonna be a science fiction hero, just like Uhura, or Captain Janeway, or Xena!

X-Bender: They're tormenting me with uptempo singing and dancing!

X-Bender: A woman like that you gotta romance first!

X-Bender: But-- those girls don't wear cases! You can see their bare circuits!

X-Bender: The laws of science be a harsh mistress.

X-Bender: Wait! My cheating unit malfunctioned! You gotta give me a do-over!

X-Bender: Gimme your biggest, strongest, cheapest drink.

X-Bender: There! That oughtta convert a few tailgaters.

X-Bender: Fry, of all the friends I've had ... you're the first.

X-Bender: I'm not allowed to sing. Court order.

I think there are more. But I have better things to do than reload /. over and over with this thing running

I want a terror alert high/elevated/guarded/taupe slashbox!

1. (a small interface display bug) In dialog boxes or other windows that contain hyperlinks (Microsoft is putting these everywhere), try moving your mouse over the link. It will change to a little hand. Now, you will decide not to click it, but move on to another region of the window (maybe they never thought people would rollover the link and not click it). watch your pointer. STILL A HAND! Only when you move it to another control and not an empty space, will it turn back to an arrow.

2. (another display thing, but much more annoying at times) tooltip exchanges. This works anywhere you have a bunch of tooltip'ed controls right next to each other, eg a taskbar, toolbar, systray, smileys menu on windows messenger. It seems to happen more reliably when a lot of (especially non-microsoft) programs are running. First, hold the cursor over one item. the tooltip appears normally. Then move to another quickly. Something funny happens. Same text as the first item, although its the width it would be if it were the text for the current item. Move to some more items. The text is always one step behind you.

Also:

The details field turns blank when Explorer is building thumbnails sometimes.

I go into a coments page, see a comment called 'First', select the 'Troll' moderation. Meanwhile, someone else selects 'Offtopic' for the same comment and clicks Moderate before I did. Since the comment was already 0, modding it down puts it below my threshold. So, the comment above it goes from 1 to 0, with a troll mod i didn't mean for it. Now I'm probably gonna get M2'd unfair for this.

does anyone else find some irony in a large part of slashdot's ads being for Visual studio.net? considering most of /. readers hate microsoft and/or run *nix and can't use visual studio.|\|37
