How to force app to display as if silver xp colour scheme was selected?

Hi i like the Silver XP colour scheme.

How do i create my app, so that regardless what XP colour scheme the
computer is using, my app uses the silver colour scheme?

Thanks,

Gary.

Gary,

Short of custom painting the borders of the windows yourself, I don't
think that this is possible.

Hope this helps.

And if the user of your application does like another theme, are you going
to force him/her to use the silver theme?

I'm interested to know if I am the only person in the world who hates the default Windows XP colour scheme ie. Blue. Whoever was in charge of this in the Windows design team must have been either colour blind or mad! If they wanted to choose a more imposing colour, red is about the only one left! Lets face it, the average Windows user leaves their colour scheme at the default, which means that all my sized Access forms not only have...

Hi, I asked Bjarne Stroustrup about the idea of adding colour standard for C++, and he said that it is very difficult for compiler vendors to change their IDE. But do you think it is possible ? Note that the proposed colour standard is not just merely to ease the eye only as what presently is in C++ compilers, but to aid in syntax disambiguation and other advantages. Here are a few advantages that I can think of:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
