Hi.
I am working on a small and fast GUI wrapper for game and tool development. It has been a while that i worked with the win32 api.
Everything works fine except of the displayed window elements. As you can see in the attached picture, the text looks like Win 3.x ^^.

Added the following code (part) to the core ui-element class:
I really don't know how to get a nice Win7 UI, but this Win 3.x like style ^^.
Help is appreciated.
Thanx
Silberling
EDIT:
Oh i forgot:
TDM-GCC 4.7.1-tdm64-1, not Visual Studio
