I'm evaluating the Windows Personal Edition for porting an application from the Mac version. One issue I noticed on Windows XP is that interface elements don't use the new XP styles. For example, tab controls are solid gray unlike the tab controls in normal XP Windows. Is there a setting I missed to use the new XP style or is that not supported? Thanks, John DeSoi, Ph.D.

When I asked Xanalys about this a while back, they suggested I add a
manifest file to the directory where the LispWorks executable
resides. While this will cause all LispWorks elements to use the XP
styles, Xanalys said that they do not officially support this.
I have attached the manifest file to this message. If the personal
edition's executable name isn't lispworks-4307.exe, you'll need to
rename the file and edit its content (it's a text file) to reflect
the actual executable name.
