fooling XP with visual styles?

[Andreas Thiele]

Hi,

I'd like to use the new XP visual styles and read MSDN on this. Thus I know
I have to prepare a xml manifest and bind this into my sources (shortly
speaking). When using latest microsoft tools this will be no problem.
Unfortunately I am programming in Lisp.

So my question is: Is there an easier (trick) to use comctl32.dll version 6
without having to patch my commercial lisp interpreter/runtime environment?

Could I perhaps write a 'helper' DLL?

Rem: I want to use those flashy new buttons.

Wow, that has to be the most off-topic question I've seen here yet!
