Is there any way to do what the title says?

Because putting the <myprojectname>.exe.manifest file from one of the examples plus writing
enablexpstyles panel,1

for every gadget doesn't work.

I don't think this will be possible. I have searched (and searched again) to make it work.
The WinVista GUI doesn't work like WinXP I guess... And I also don't think that Rob will release another update with support for Windows Vista.

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

If I include that manifest and enable xp styles, should it work on an xp pc?

I never tried it, but I think it should.

Making it on Vista does not change the way it is compiled, or how the DLL works. It's just that Vista can't "display" that...

Actually, you just need to include the manifest file and it works on xp.

wait... first, I understood that.

BUT the precompiled "Rainbow UI designer" can dislplay those xp style buttons (or at lest buttons with another style than mine if I compile a project)!!!

EDIT: I'll post screenshots later

Can someone please fix bluegui enablexpstyles or create enablevistastyles to work with Vista, it makes things look so much better.

I know this might seem strange, but will RobK ever make a command for BlueGUI (XP version) to display Windows Vista styles. That would look awesome!

The optomist's right, The pessimist's right.
