I had never heard of this magazine, so just googled it. Does anyone else, apart from Jeremy North, subscribe to it?<br>It looks like it might be worth it, although, might have to wait until the Euro is more favourable to the NZ$ :-)<br>

The reason the progress bar is blue blocks on XP is because you don't<br>
have themes enabled.<br>

I need to think of a topic to write for the next Blaise magazine,<br>
perhaps I can do one of creating your own progress bar.<br>
<br>
The GraphUtil unit includes a method for drawing a gradient to a canvas.<br>
