Windows Classic style

Is there a way to see if an XP user is using Windows classic theme as desktop
appearance. Also how can I detect operating system. I.e. prompt for version
of windows.

Best regards and thanks
Jesper, Denmark.

I've noticed that a few ASPN cookbook recipes, which are recent additions, use classic classes. I've also noticed classic classes are used in many places in the standard library. I've been using new-style classes since Python 2.2, and am suprised people are still using the classic classes. Is there a legitimate use for classic classes that I am not aware of?

In Windows XP display Properties/Appearance users can chose between: Windows XP Style or Windows Classic Style. Is there a way in VBA to determine the user's selection? The reason: Toolbars size taller in XP than in Classic so I need to size all those nifty windows sizing commands depending on the user's preference.

Hi, hope I'm posting to the right forum. I'm using C# under .NET 1.1, Windows XP SP2 I have a form and I've overridden WndProc to print to a text box whenever it receives the WM_NCMOUSELEAVE message. Under "Windows XP Style", I get these messages fine (when the mouse moves off the title bar or form borders). Under "Windows Classic Style", I don't get the message at all! Has anyone seen this?

I need to pop up a modal JS-based dialog (for some reason can't use popup window, much less so showModalDialog()), and I'd like to imitate the system popup titlebar according to user's desktop settings (classic, XP, Vista). No big deal to make it work, but how do I know the style to display? Any chance to figure out these settings programmatically either on the client (preferrable), or possibly in asp.net from something like Request (not...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
