Sorry, but I couldn't find any advice.

If you think customizing controls is stupid then please try to
convince me why. Comments like 'So you messed things up, right?'
neither convince me of deterring my plans nor do they help me in
realising these plans.

The _real_ problem is that I want to customize the look of checkboxes.
Not the caption but the little box where the hook is in when it is
selected. Nothing more and nothing less. Aside from that, sometimes
people's motives for trying certain things (as customizing checkboxes
in my case) are simply and sadly corporate guidelines on which they
have no influence.

After re-reading my first reply I must admit that perhaps my words
sounded a bit offensive. That was not my intention and I'm sorry for
that. But you must confess that your post didn't contain much helpful
information either.
