CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

[DEXWERX]

I think that we should be able to make everybody happy with this. I am not convinced that Hosam necessarily wants his desired feature to be the default and break compatibility with the MS version. I am guessing that if there were a new method added that is separate from and in addition to the MS methods that could be called then Hosam would be happy because he could do what he wants to do and everyone else should be happy because they can keep the MS compatibility and also have the option to use the new "Hosam method." Krool, this doesn't sound too hard to add another method (my guess is that would be better than creating a new fork), is this something you would like to add?

After thinking this through, I can see why Microsoft decided to go the way they did. To me it seems non-intuitive that by setting a default ForeColor - you are also resetting all previously set individual colors. It's kind of like completely erasing the bitmap on a form, by setting the BackColor. (which is the default behavior)

So what you/ Hosam are proposing is something like a ForeColorReset(), which removes all individual colors.
