The problem that I see is that there is a nice division between windows and
the documents they contain. Windows handles all the windows renderings for
dialog boxes and buttons, etc. Rendering the document those windows contain
are primarily controlled by the application itself. You can overide the
color and fonts of buttons etc. but I think if the user really wanted to
they would just go to the Diplay properties and change it all there. A good
example is your help files that have a light purple color scheme applied to
the buttons, etc. I think this is a nice division, but maybe someone else
disagrees and will add that ability.

My main purpose for adding the color scheme ability was to make the text
easy to read on the screen. I hate reading from the computer screen and if I
can make it easier on my eyes then I am all for it. Everyone is different
and so different schemes work better for different people. I personally like
the parchment scheme. It is easier on my eyes than black an white. So my
purpose was semi-selfish but benificial for all. :)

There is a scaling option for controls and it adjusts a form for differing
font sizes. I just need to se that to true and I think it will work out.
