Using Dan_Upright's window skinning code.. and using a somewhat larger skin (640x400)... it takes seconds to get that window on screen.. does it HAVE to be that slow? I tried converting the skinning code to use lockedpixels and that turned out even SLOWER (near 30 SECONDS to do the skin)..

Not good :(
