[dcplusplus-devel] patch: new black arrows for list views

[poy <po...@12...>]

i've been trying to re-do the list view createArrows() code in a simpler 
way; ie, simply draw a gray triangle and fill it. but i could never manage 
to get any brush applied, so the only way i've found is to use 
::InvertRgn(), and the result is a black triangle.
yes it's quite ugly, best would have been to use ::PaintRgn() or ::FillRgn() 
with the appropriate brushes.

as i'm not sure which arrows are best (ugly previous ones, "too black" new 
ones...), attached are screen shots.

Hm, pretty strange then...the old wtl code did it with brushes and pens so I wonder what's
different...maybe some handle not being assigned correctly?

Well, that'd be strange, but I'll accept any reasons =) something must be different since it worked
before and now it doesn't...

Naw, they're supposed to follow system colors for shadows and highlights..

Simple and working is better than not working =) I'll go for the black ones - most people will
probably see the comctl6 ones anyway...(apart from me =)
