Oh duh, you have Windows 2000, which doesn't have uxtheme.dll. I'll fix that bit of code.

I'm surprised nobody else has reported that. I'll bet Image->Canvas Size crashes too.

[Rick Brewster]

Ok I fixed it. The next release should work for you.

Windows XP SP1 provides a DLL we use that implements everything related to printing and scanning ...

So we have had two options to choose from:

1. Spend 1 hour implementing printing and scanning, but have these features require XP SP1 or later.

2. Spending 2 months implementing this feature, but have it work for everyone (hopefully).

For us the choice was clear.

This bug with Image->Canvas Size was just an oversight on my part If I'd spent 5 minutes testing in Virtual PC I would have noticed it too.

The other project I am on requires XP SP2 which means I can make a lot of assumptions about which system DLL's and features are present. So I just forgot to transition back to Win2K-and-XP mode for Paint.NET.

Canvas Size crash is fixed in the latest version. Please update.
