I'm uploading to my web site a first beta version of eStylerLite for eComStation.

If you are using the GRADD video driver you also need

http://space.tin.it/scienza/acantato/files/softdraw.zip

Read the readme.txt file for more details about it.

This version will only work on eComStation!

This version features:
- enhanced titlebars (solid color, image, gradient)
- enhanced push buttons (various styles)
- Windows keys support
- enhanced shutdown (APM + reboot + program list)

-1) I'm willing to know how the shutdown feature works.
-2) Please disable overlapping features of other enhancers to avoid conflicts
-3) If you are using Styler/2, after the eStylerLite installation, before rebooting, you have to modify your OS2.INI file (see readme.txt for more details)
