ok my question is this since this API is no longer in windows ( Comctl32.dll version 6 and higher do not support flat scroll bars) show i go ahead and write in the code or just go find something else more productive?
Well, firstly just because something is deprecated does not mean we can skip it unfortunately :( As you have already seen, many apps use this API and will do for years to come.
On the other hand, flat scrollbars are really useless, an entirely new control for a simple visual style change. There's absolutely no need to implement this control, other than perhaps to shut up the annoying fixmes, I think our users will live with 3D scrollbars somehow :)
There are lots of tasks that need to be done in Wine, I'd suggest taking a look at some and finding one that matches your level of skill. winecfg always needs hackers ;)
