my forms look dull and windows 95 like in a large project that i have been programming(cant program all over again) i accidently modified ‘comiled resource script ‘ for that project using a text editor,when i reopened my project it asked if i want to recreate some file to which i clicked yes. now my form look dull and windows 95 style, adding xpmanifest component does bring them back to xp theme but what about windows 7,i do not have windows7/vista so i cant test if my forms behave like win7 forms on win7 or not(but probably they’l look and feel like xp) how to make them win 7 style again
help!
i am using delphi 2010

    Under the Project | Options menu, select the Application Section, then make sure there is a check box in Enable runtime themes.

    With this enabled your forms should look good in Vista and Windows 7.

    This replaces the need for the XpManifest component.

    You can further enhance the look by adjusting the property of GlassFrame on each form.
