I don't know whether this has been discussed here before but if you are
using BlackBox and want to get the Windows XP look-and-feel in BlackBox
(rounded pushbuttons, flat scrollbars, new file dialogs etc.) you can do
this easily by creating an 'XP Manifest' file for BlackBox. To do this:
1. Create a text file in the same directory as BlackBox.exe and copy /
paste the following lines into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0">
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
2. Rename the text file to 'BlackBox.exe.manifest'
3. Try running BlackBox > Obx > Controls and see the difference.
If you want to find out more about why this works, see a related
