I did the different looking widgets. It's basicly the MVC close and collapse box look.
It has a little problem in the way it
handles old projects with open windows in them, it has to do with the collapse box
widget and should be solved before used to heavily. It has to do with
the fact that I did not know ( and still don't) how to make that wiget looking
like it does using a form so I used two rectanglemorpfs, and when the 
new code wants to update the way they look when thay are clicked it looks for 
two submorpfs of the collapse box, something the old project with open windows in them
don't have. Also flaps have the same problem so they have to be
restarted so the thumbnails contains the new widget.

I'll look into it.
