RE: Manifest or Win32lib Problem?

Hi Derek,
With windows XP if you create a manifest file as below and name it the
same as your program executable such as runme.exe you would create a
file runme.exe.manifest. This then changes the appearance of older
programs or programs just using plain buttons etc. to match the current
visual style or theme being used.

Hope that helps
Regards Tony Steward

Manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86"
name="HybridDesign.WindowsXP.Example" type="win32" />
<description>An example of windows XP theming.</description>
<dependency><dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />
</dependentAssembly></dependency>
</assembly>
