You should test and see if this works on things such as windows 10. Default forums don't look like that past 7 if I recall correctly. Cool nonetheless.

I suppose I could test it if you just link the .exe. My laptop is W10. Desktop is stationed at 7 right now.

looks pretty nice, if you can get it rolling on win10, I might use it.

OT: your images are broken?
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they

It comes up white on windows 10. Also the program is quite large just for displaying a button and a image.

The library uses two APIs that were introduced in Windows Vista (6.0) specifically for Aero glass. You can't achieve Aero glass effect on any Windows version higher than 6.1 since Microsoft disabled Aero on later releases. That being said, the library is limited to Windows Vista and 7.
