And since I feel frisky lately,
I want to run another idea by you guys.
We have the standard controls bundled with USER, just like Windows. In fact, it seems XP bundles them with the common control, but that's another story. My point is, that there's no logical reason they should be in USER. In fact, in the future we may want to provide other implementations which integrate better with GNOME and/or KDE.
So what about moving them to a separate DLL, say winectrl?

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands these days ;-) I think they are just fine in USER. GNOME/KDE integration would require a lot more than just hacking the standard controls anyway.

That's true. But we'd have other advantages as well, such as making sure they use only exported USER functions, we could move them to Windows to test them out, an easily replaceable Look'n'feel, etc. I think it can bring cleanliness in general. Maybe this way we'll find a way to factor out the look'a'feel that we have with the Tweak flag into different DLLs.
