skinfeature lets you design unique styles using creative special effects for fully interactive GUI development and more. skinfeature is compatible with a large range of development languages, tools, and frameworks including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft DotNet, and the Win32 SDK skinfeature technology might be used to apply skinning to all visual elements of Windows applications: the standard controls (list, edit, combo, progress, scroll, button, tab, etc.), all non-client areas (title bar, system menu, toolbar, etc.), messages boxes, and all common dialogs (file open, file save, print, print preview, browse for folder or file, choose color,etc.)http://www.skinui.com

If you want the Windows XP theme, as with current versions of Delphi and C++ Builder you need to add the XP Manifest component to your form. Just drag and drop and then forget about it.

I don't understand. Delphi 2009 can't create XP themed applications? The XP screenshots you posted look like they are straight from Windows 2000 or XP in "classic" mode. Please tell me that isn't true!

Absolutely nice, BUT !.With the new Unicode support, will the IDE,VCL,EDitor support RTL languages. Earlier versions of Delphi used to excel in supporting RTL languages surpassing even tools provided by Microsoft itself. But all of the recent versions leave something (actually a lot) to be desired. For example many core components do not fully support RTL (BiDiMode) either on the appearance level or at the core text level including (TPageControl,TTabControl,Action Bands, TListView) and many others.In addition, many of the recently added components such as TCategoryButtons and others do not provide adequate RTL support or ignore it all together.The addition of those nifty new controls is absolutely great but will they provide adequate RTL support especially with Delphi entering the Unicode world. I think a huge point will be missed if proper RTL support is not added to the IDE/Editor/VCL especially for developers with clients from the Middle Easts (Arabic,Hebrew, Farsi) and others from some some east Asians regions with languages based on Arabic.

They spit on interfaces ! They long to return to the command-line ! GUI controls are a waste ! :)
