Hello,

Copy the following to the clipboard:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="Digital Mars Compiler IDDE"
type="win32"
/>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

Then paste it in a new text file called SCWMN32.EXE.manifest (Yes, with 
TWO extensions) and save it to the C:\DM\BIN directory, together with 
SCWMN32.EXE.

Now most of the IDDE dialogs will appear like the rest of WinXP.

Enjoy,
Alexis.

Are you sure you have tried the complete IDDE while using this?
I have tried this months ago and experienced weird crashes in the IDDE I 
have never experienced before.

Thanks!
Jan

But as for me and my household, we shall use Mozilla... www.mozilla.org

Although I created the manifest for SCWMN32.EXE, I actually run P:\DM\BIN
\SCW32.EXE . Drive P: is an alias for c:\progtools created with subst.

So far everything works (and looks) OK... Except for some custom controls 
that look the same as before the manifest.

Did you try it with the latest version of the IDDE?

Best,
Alexis.
