Hey guys,
Firstly, about the hatch brush,
It's not a regression, I removed it on purpose, because I couldn't seem to reproduce
the hatch effect on windows when either a button style check or radio is pushed or
when a normal button is pushed.
Since I couldn't see the effect, I assumed that the hatch brush was trying to simply
change the shade of the backColor, some thing I thought I would get round to when I
looked at the ButtonBase (just after I do my next round of radiobutton fixes).
So basically, I couldn't see the hatch brush effect being applied in windows classic
and I removed it. It's possible that I may have missed something but I'm not sure what
it's meant to be. If someone can provide a test case or screen shot of the effect I
missed then I'll go back in an put the hatch brush back.
As for my suspicions about Capture, well I know I should have checked the code to
see if either was happening, but it was late and I was tired ;) I just wanted to note
somewhere what I saw and what I thought it was so I could get back to it later. As it
turns out, it's probably something that is beyond my abilities (for now), so it's best left
to you.
