image controls

Just upgraded to the latest version 2.6 from 2.21.   Many of the application
forms we've developed use a image control placed on another image control for
display effect.  They work and look great.  Upon upgrading to the current
version, we found that the image controls placed on other image control are not
transparent in the corners.  For example, the rounded rectangle has grey corners
beyond the line boundary.  The corners are not transparent and don't display the
color of the underlying image control.  The image control appears to be
transparent in the corners when it is the primary control on a notebook or
container.  Is this something that may be adjusted in the future?  Or, is ther a
work around now.

In further testing, we found the the problem only exists on notebook controls. 
The fix used was to place the image controls on a container control and set the
border to none.

Lloyd,

There is a new .systemTheme property on many objects, including IMAGE. 
It defaults to TRUE (ie. true means use the Windows Theme which has 
rounded corners). Setting it to false may also solve your problem.
