I've got several, mostly a progression from scbar to rabidvwm to lstools
to skinbox.

The main structure I use, which is a bit less featureful, is:

typedef struct _lsEdgeMap {
 HBITMAP Bitmap;
 SIZE Size;
 RECT Edge;
 BOOL Tile;
} lsEdgeMap;

RabidVWM has a function, GetRCEdgeMap, which reads in this structure
given a prefix, and a TransEdgeBlt that stretches and paints it onto a
DC.  (It also has a function to read a simple "BevelColors" struct, also
given a prefix.)  The structure and blitter are in the "lstools" thing
that I added to one of my custom builds of litestep:

LSTransEdgeBlt.  (4th from the bottom)
