Re: ProfoundUI how to question

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

This should be happening out of the box...  the conversion themes that 
come with the product will convert green-screen windows into windows 
that float above the screen.

If you're having trouble with this, please contact 
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for help, we'll take a closer look with you to 
see what's going on.
