>After a little research I discovered some VFP application that have, for lack of a better description, XP looking screen, particularly the "red" x for close and rounded forms. I also read that VFP could be extended. So how is this being done. I use VFP 9 but my app looks a little dated, circa 2000.

Dallas,

VFP8 and later support XP Themes w/o addtional programming and it's on by default. Make sure that it isn't turned off by SYS(2700) or Themes property on differen levels, starting with _SCREEN.Themes
