Publisher's Description of XP Look
|
" Give old programs the look of new Windows XP application. "
- From Scriptol
This program is a graphical user interface to create Microsoft's manifest files.
Once the "Give XP Look" command is given, if your program name is "program.exe", a "program.exe.manifest" file is created and it sits belong your program.
Just run your program to view the newly rounded and shaded controls.
The XP Look screen:
Each button and field on the screen has a popup window that describes its purpose, when the mouse stay up on it, and so understanding and using the interface is rather easy.
Input field:
The text input field allows to enter the name of the program you want to change the look. You can click on the "browse" button at right to select the file on the disk
Buttons:
Give XP Look: Create a manifest file for selected program.
Restore Old Look: Delete the manifest file.
Run The Program: View the result!
How it works?
Programs that are built by older versions of tools as Visual Studio or C Builder, have no information for Windows to use new components included in the last XP edition. But, you can give this information to Windows by providing a companion manifest file. This is just what XP Look does.
Controls that are relooked:
According to Microsoft, these controls are changed:
* ListView
* ListBox
* TextBox
* RichTextBox
* TreeView
* HScrollBar
* VScrollBar
* ProgressBar
* Splitter
* Tab
* TrackBar
* MainMenu
* ToolBar
* StatusBar
* ContextMenu
* ComboBox
* DataGrid
* DateTimePicker
* MonthCalendar
CAUTION:
XP Look runs only with Windows XP. Changes in your program (or any third-party program installed on your computer) work only with Windows XP.
