I am sorry to say, but i would refuse to pay for a program/programmer, that does not understand, that the layout/behaviour a form should not be changed!

Of course there are exceptions, but please oh please, dont abuse this :,(

I dont know how many antivirus-applications etc. create some obscure and terrible forms, but i know i simply hate them.

Hi Duckie,

I couldn't agree with you more! But for those exceptions, my post was simply to show that it is possible and how to do it.

Heed Duckie's word, all!
