To create dialogs I still use dstudio.exe.

For coloring dialog elements I still use mdx.dll, but some functions doesn't work anymore and it's a ANSI dll, so it breaks some UTF-8 elements

this dialog here uses mdx.dll for coloring itens and to set custom fonts, everything works fine except for the UTF-8 chars on the titlebar

Would be very useful to have a native way for coloring dialogs
