Well you said you wanted an "icon that, like all the other Gambas icons if
present, captures the theme used by the OS."

That's one way how it could be done capturing the current toolkit theme and
various states of of the objects existence.

Note: the Picture.class and Style.class in the program are completely
separate and do not use each other but they should if in the same project.
meaning the Picture.class is handling the resizing independently and not
using the included Style.class to do it  , but it probably should.

I left it like that so the Picture.class could be imported into any project
without the Style.class and still work.

I think something like this could be very useful for making custom
Radio/CheckBox controls.

So i guess the congratulations are to you not me.  aren't you lucky :)

You're welcome , and so is everyone else :)
