DCX - Dialog Control Xtension
 
Stacker
The stacker control is like a vertical container, placing controls on each other like steps on a ladder. Each control has a title, which can be collapsed to show/hide the child control.

Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a Stacker control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, hidden, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls except the embedded Dialog and Window controls.
gradient Show items with a gradient background.
noformat Disables support for mIRC codes in control (faster).
shadow Display text with a shadow. The shadow color depends on the color specified by the item, not the Stacker.
tooltips The stacker will have a tooltip.
 
Note. shadow will only work if the text color is not black or the same as the default text color on the current windows theme (ie. $rgb(0, 0, 0) or $dcx(GetSystemColor, COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) respectively). Change it by using xdid -C
