Hi!

I have two questions/bug reports I wonder if you guys at Codejock could help me with.

We have a C++ application (MFC, MDI) that we skin with Codejock.  The users can choose from both "themes" (built-in) and "skins" (from ".cjstyles" files).

There are a couple of quirks - things must be done in a certain order/put in certain places in MFC, and if you have the wrong theme active when you apply a skin, some parts of the skin doesn't work.  But I think we have worked that out.

There are two things we haven't been able to solve, though:

 (1) When activating some skins, only part of the application is skinned at first.  E.g. when applying the "Pink.cjstyles" skin, the application becomes a mix of pink and ordinary-Windows-appearence.  After about five seconds, everything "catches up" and the skin is applied everywhere.

 (2) When you switch from a skin to a theme (first, we do a LoadSkin("", "") to deactivate the skin, then a SetTheme() to activate the theme), sometimes the title bars of the windows disappear.  (Both the titel bar of the application window and the child view windows.)  It doesn't happend every time, but often.  When you interact with the application the titel bars reappear.

These are "cosmetic issues", but they get the applicatione to look really bad...  We haven't been able to find a work-around.

Are these known problems?  Do you have some advice?  We are grateful for any help!
