List and Tree Views don't use the Aero theme

[lf0]

Disclaimer: Based on this Wishlist thread I decided to open bugs for the separate issues at hand. I think it makes sense to bring them to bug forum (see my post in the linked thread for my reasoning) so individual bug numbers can be assigned. Thanks.

Problem:

The List and Tree Views don't use the Aero theme in the non-skinned version of MediaMonkey 3.2.

Current look:


Result should look like:


The list view and tree view used in MM are based on Soft Gems Virtual Treeview, an updated version enabled the use of Vista Aero styled items. So either an update of the component should help or a backport of the fixes made.

Basically

Code: Select all

SetWindowTheme(AHandle, 'explorer', nil);

has to be called on the list view to enabled Aero styled rendering. See also here.

Sad to see that not even a bug number has been assigned to this issue yet (or fwiw the description of 2746 still only relates to the skinned version and a different problem).

Is this being worked on, still planned or ignored now after some positive initial feedback?

I know it was planned for 4.0 but without a tracker entry it seems that its not even on the roadmap?

Thanks for any further information....

Oh! I really must have missed that one. Thanks for the information.
That makes me happy again

Maybe it should be made clear that this not only affects Windows 7 but also Windows Vista (as both use Aero) so an even bigger target market.

Not to push anything ( ) but the reason I split up my bug reports is that most of the issues can be resolved independently and the report makes it sound that Item 5 is preventing the others to be fixed. Especially the above mentioned problem and the one about the Menus are really separated from anything else.
