Hi all,

If someone still interested about 2D/3D controls
behavior in FPW2.6 - there is some hints.

I found, that FPW uses very strange logic to switch
between 2D/3D presentation. When the control vertical
size is enough to fit text (font.height + 3) pixels,
then 3D image is used (14x14).
When this text is supposed to be shrinked, 2D bitmap
(11x11) is selected instead.

Example below uses SIZE 0.9/1.2 clause to force
this switch, while all other tokens are the same:

p=1
* ------- 2D bitmap used for height(-10%) ---------
@ 1,1 get p func "*R One;Two;Three" size 0.9,10 font "Tahoma",8
q=1
* ------- 3D bitmap used for height(+20%)---------
@ 5,1 get q func "*R One;Two;Three" size 1.2,10 font "Tahoma",8
read cycle


As usual, applying 3 bytes patch, it is possible
to force 3D controls everywhere...


Hope this helps

PS: There is a way also to get all PUSH buttons looking
in a "modern style", i.e. without surrounding ugly
black borders (2 byte patch), apply arbitrary colors when
drawing button (not Grey) etc...
I can release generic "GUI upgrade" patch for FPW if the
people really need it.
