Just to clarify: I tried both ways and got it to work. I tried compiling from scratch with zbstudio.exe and I also tried moving manifest from wxlua to lua.exe as I described earlier. For compiling from scratch I used this script: https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/blob/master/build/build-win32.sh#L247-L248 and the files are here: https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/tree/master/zbstudio/res (zbstudio.rc and zbstudio.manifest; this manifest doesn't reference Common-Controls as I couldn't get it to work with my mingw-compiled 2.9.5, but it works with your 2.8.12 dlls).
