After the compression of ControlExample with upx:
	- icons are not displayed on tabs: Button, CoolBar, Table, ToolBar, Tree
	- but icons are displayed on tabs: ExpandBar, Label, Menu.

It was working before the fix of these bugs:

I did some tests and it think it's another manifest problem. If I compile without dwt.res (remove the line buildflags+= -L/rc:..\dwt in dsss.conf), the exe compressed with upx seems ok in console mode. But then I found another problem. If I compile in gui mode without dwt.res, I can start the application from the console but not from the explorer.

I don't know UPX well. Perhaps it is bug in UPX? Wikipedia has a list of alternatives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression ASPack was used in the past for poseidon, i think.

I found the problem. If I replace this line 2 24 "dwt.exe.manifest" by this line 1 24 "dwt.exe.manifest" in my dwt.rc and recompile, the upx version is ok.

Does the theming then work properly? (are buttons rounded?)

Yes, there is no problem with the theming. I found the solution on msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/cheller/archive/2006/08/24/718757.aspx Yes, there is no problem with the theming. I found the solution on msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/cheller/archive/2006/08/24/718757.aspx #define RT_MANIFEST 24 #define APP_MANIFEST 1 APP_MANIFEST RT_MANIFEST ExeName.exe.manifest The line above means: take the contents of ExeName.exe.manifest, and include it as a resource of type RT_MANIFEST, whose identifier is APP_MANIFEST. (The value of the manifest resource for an executable should be 1.)
