I am creating an application that uses a host of external dialogs via the plugin system and I have visual styles enabled for my controls but Windows is removing them because the AppGameKit exe does not have support for them in the manifest, could you add comctrl 6 support to the manifest, I did this myself with a trial version of PE Explorer and it works fine but I only got 30 days and when agk is updated my changes will be lost and I'll be back to flat controls, It would be nice to have the default player app supporting visual styles.

I'm not sure how to add to the manifest file in Visual Studio, but apparently I can add it as a #pragma, does the attached version work?

Yes that works perfect, thank you.

Windows is so temperamental sometimes you would think in this day and age that visual styles would be enabled in any application by default, that flat look is Win98 theme it has no place in an app made in 2017! lol
