Hi Stephen, The following file when placed under $(INSTALL_PATH)\XEmacs\XEmacs-$(VERSION)\i586-pc-win32\xemacs.exe.manifest allows all the user interface elements to follow Windows XP's native form controls (aka XP skin). This gives XEmacs on Windows XP native XP look and feel. Can you please consider it for inclusion in the next release of XEmacs ? I don't know the procedures for submitting a patch. I would assume that this file should be hooked into the install target if using cygwin. I don't how the netinstall works. Comments, suggestions welcome. -kitty. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="XEmacs" type="win32"/> <description>XEmacs - Customizable open-source text editor</description> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> </assembly>
