Though I've never written in this forum I'm using Notepad++ for quite a long time. Amazing application! Congratulations to the developers and keep up the good work!
I'm using Notepad++ mostly on Windows XP with visual style applied.
All styling is perfect except the tab bar - is it possible to use styling on these?
IMHO there are two ways to make the styling possible:
1. Use the styling capabilities of uxtheme.dll (the library used by Windows for styling) to obtain (and then draw) the images of the tabs - active, inactive, active hovered, inactive hovered, etc.
or
2. Make the tab objects inherit the standard tabs (or similar to this). An option can be then added to the tab options to switch between custom rendered tabs and standard (skinned) ones.
As far as I know there is a way to do such stuff without making the other code invalid in Linux for example.
