Folder XP aspect with FWH 2.7
Posted: Thu May 04, 2006 06:36 AM

Hi,

I have noticed that if you use a folder with WindowsXP.manifest, the folder dialogs get a white background color.

To test it, it's enough to add the sentence

1 24 "XP.man"

to the original fwh\samples\testfld7.rc and then compile testfld7.prg.

("xp.man" is the file WindowsXP.manifest renamed into XP.man, I need to do it for some other reasons).

If you don't use the .manifest file, the folder is gray but however there are some labels (i.e. radio group labels) that remains black on white.

However, I need folders with the normal aspect (gray background).

Is there anyway to make it work? I tried to patch the tfolder class, without success :-(

best regards,
Giovi Verrua

This *is* the standard appearence of a themed folder. Please check the one in the desktop properties.
