I think apps have to be explicitly linked against the new common controls lib in XP - some apps need to be reworked to use the new theming APIs directly, hence the fact that some apps use the old look and some use the new. > Sure, but it's a really big job, probably bigger than you want > to tackle. To James: Agreed. Look through the archives for jan and feb to see what the problem is. Basically it requires extremely in depth knowledge of Wine threads and the new glibc threading - a bit elite for most ;)
