Some of you may now have the new "Google Talk" (Googles little chat
screen). Very small, no borders does not look like IE at all.
Looks very much like a Web Page though.
How is that if everyone says Microsoft has teathered our creativity to
disallowing any other type of window other than theirs?
Thanks,
Trint

PS - I would be happy to send anyone a screen shot of Google Talk.
 
"Google Talk" is a client application. Not run with IE or ASP.NET(or
web pages)

Applications with custom style windows have been around for a while..
Yahoo chat, Power DVD , Nero Start center etc to name a few.. Also
microsofts own Media player

You may want to check in microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing , if
you are looking to build a client application.

Google Talk is a desktop application. And as such can have any interface it
wants. And is one of the reasons you can't/shouldn't do that with web pages,
as they should clearly remain as visibly as web pages for a variety of
user-centered design reasons.
