I need help in making a custom screen having WB2.0 looks.
I am not a developer(not yet atleast) so I can't get any programming
docs on the new OS.

Here is an excerpt from my program:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
DRIF_NEWLOOK   equ  $00000001
NS_EXTENDED    equ  $1000
AUTOSCROLL     equ  $4000
V_HIRES        equ  $8000
DRI_VERSION    equ  $0001

newscrVars:
     dc.w 0,0       ;left-edge/top-edge
     dc.w 640,200   ;width / height
     dc.w 3         ;bitplanes
     dc.b 0,1       ;detailpen,blockpen
     dc.w V_HIRES   ;viewmode
     dc.w CUSTOM!AUTOSCROLL!NS_EXTENDED ;type
     dc.l 0         ;font
     dc.l scrTitle  ;title
     dc.l 0         ;gadgets
     dc.l 0         ;custombitmap
     dc.l screenTag ;tagitem

screenTag:
     dc.l SA_Pens        ;ti_Tag
     dc.l drawInfo       ;ti_Data

drawInfo:
     dc.w DRI_VERSION    ;dri_Version
     dc.w 10             ;dri_NumPens
     dc.l penArray       ;dri_Pens
     dc.l 0              ;dri_Font
     dc.w 3              ;dri_Depth
     dc.w 640,200        ;dri_ResoltionX, dri_ResolutionY
     dc.l DRIF_NEWLOOK   ;dri_Flags
     ds.b 28             ;dri_longreserved

penArray:
     dc.b 3         ;detailpen
     dc.b 1         ;blockpen
     dc.b 3         ;textpen
     dc.b 2         ;shinepen
     dc.b 1         ;shadowpen
     dc.b 3         ;fillpen
     dc.b 1         ;filltextpen
     dc.b 2         ;backgroundpen
     dc.b 3         ;highlighttextpen
     dc.b 8         ;numdripens(don't know what this does!)
     cnop 0,2
;--------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't use OpenScreenTagList(), but that shouldn't make a difference
since I set the NS_EXTENDED bit in the "type" field of the newscreen
structure.
My screen palette is the same as the new workbench's.
When screen opened the windows looked uglier than before.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...
