    Being someone who runs XP in classic mode, I was curious how one gets to view dialogs and windows using the theme shown in this image[^]. It doesn't appear to be part of XP Home/Professional AFAIK. Thanks for any pointers. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

      This is the Puke theme. Available in very early releases of WinXP, but pulled due to customer dissatisfaction.;)

        The standard Windows XP Theme comes in three exciting colour. Blue (the default), Olive Green and Silver. Your link appears to be the Silver colour scheme.


        Do you want to know more?

            Try making a form with Visual Studio (6 for example). When you fill it with combos, edits, buttons, this is the way they appear.

                Hey Ravi It looks like a normal XP color scheme - the buttons are all owner drawn so they look different obviously. Nish

                  Thanks to Colin, I discovered the "Color Scheme" combo box. :-O All is well. Life is good! (Yes, I'm easily pleased). /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
