Maybe send the files first and let us decide what is the best course of action? (So far I have no clue what exactly these changes are about).

Don't worry, it's not sooo much code, but it adds cool new features (mainly the "palette" part, it's why ribbon skin can render any combination of colors, even office 2003 being a non ribbon theme, it's just a matter of choosing right colors)

It may introduce some questions however, like "Do we preserve SColor*() functions or change all skins to be drawn using global Chameleon palette?", "Should things like window background have that 'static color' background or be 'chameleonized' (Don't ask me that, I'll for sure vote for chameleon)", same last question goes for things like ToolBar background, Menu background, TopBar background, etc, if we don't add chameleon support to those things we'll never have a fully flexible skin system, and skins like ribbon will never be complete, OTOH if we do it (it's no so much work nor difficult) we'll have the most advanced and up to date crossplatform skin system, rendering ribbon styles even on Linux Smile

I only have to add: Don't be afraid, adding chameleon + drawing utils + palette + ribbon skin will not affect at all current skins, so you'll not notice it until you call ChRibbonSkin() from your app..
