Can anyone tell me:
In ThemePark...
where do I find the little white square spacer that sits to the right of the horizontal scrollbar, and under the vertical scrollbar in the Finders column view?

You mean the resize handle?
There is one in the finder category, and a seperate one in the save dialog category. (I think, that's how I remember it)
If that's not what you mean, a picture would help!

I don't think the resize handle is what I mean...
but I now realise that my description was way off... so I'll try again. =)

I think the one I'm after shows up in the bottom right corner of some list and icon windows.
an example can be seen in this window:
http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/...paper3b_lg.jpg
(bottom right hand corner of the Brass Paper window, just above the right hand edge of itunes. scrollbar arrows often butt up to it.)
.............
a couple of other of other unrelated things come to mind:
1. Has anyone noticed that in the column window, when resizing a column, the scrollbar being resized (especially blank ones) change their width? (their alignment with the resize thumb, shifts)

2. in the above resexcellence snapshot, the scroll bars show double arrows at top and bottom. (yes I know the tops are still aqua) How is the double scroll arrows achieved?

I see. The square you are talking about is more of a glitch because you have used transparency for all your growboxes. If you revert them to aqua you will see that some of them use a solid background. Change your growbox to have a solid background as well and it will work.

2. The double double scroll arrows can be achived if you use a third party tool like Tinkertool.

How strange... I will check that out... thanks... though I can't quite see why it is doing that.
Some of my growboxes include some transparency.
I don't have any totally transparent growboxes.
Are those squares only using part of the growbox maybe?

In this image the growbox is shown below the blank white square.
Is this the same square that you are talking about?

Thanks for that =)

Yeah, well the completely white square is something that the system is doing, and it's not possible to change. Unless it's added to ShapeShifter somehow.

In that case, I hope Shapeshifter/ThemePark manages to add it, or every non-white based theme is going to have holes in it.
(needed: One hole eating duck) =)
