Hi!

I'm not sure, but seems Windows XP themes support was added for run-time in VFP8. Did you notices VFP8's improvements mostly related to run-time, language and classes and not to design time? Compare with VFP7 where we had a lot of improvements in design time environment and little of improvements in language and classes. I think that's is a reason.

>>>Title bar of forms does not seem to take on the windows theme look in XP. Other windows elements, like command buttons and the overall external form, as well as Windows elements such as messageboxes do take on look.

>>I'm using WinXP Silver. Even in VFP7 the title bar of the form and the title bar of the VFP IDE look exactly the same - they have a "rounded" silver look. I'm curious what you're seeing.
