    Is there a way we can give Windows XP look and feel to applications running under other operating systems beside Windows XP?

      I belive if you have a manifest file and the version of Windows has the newer common controls file you can give it the XP look. - Aaron

        Only by drawing all the controls and windows yourself. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

          I suppose you mean Windows OS's. Take a look at WindowBlinds[^], maybe it fits what you need. If you want XP look and feel for programs you have the source code, you already are on the right place.
