CAPI Look and Feel

Hello All,

Is it possible to make CAPI look less ugly on Windows?
At least:
  1. To eliminate flicker on window resize
  2. To make controls take on XP styles (e.g. Tabs in tab control with XP
      style on are of more rounded form and draw a yellow bar on mouseover
      and on the selected tab, push buttons with nice gradients, flat 
text-input-panes etc.)

Or if it is not possible to switch XP styles on, at lest somehow enlarge tab
size (to give more space around the tab title)?

Denis.

Tastes differ. Someone could consider XP look and feel uglier than "classic"
Windows 95 - 2000 :-)
