It seems to me that John Spikowski's question in the Linux discussion in the Café merits it's own thread here:
The link you give, John, provides a very comprehensive solution for XP-themed buttons by José Roca, but some other aspects of XP theming remain somewhat difficult to achieve in PB/Win.
The child dialog of a Tab controls is a particular problem because of its gradient fill background. Whilst it is reasonably easy to create the blank dialog, drawing and updating labels and other controls on it is a problem.
I'm not aware of any post here containing a comprehensive solution to all XP-theming issues, and I support John's implication that it would be helpful to have more inbuilt theme support in future versions of PB/Win.
I did a search for XP manifest support and could only find this thread which seems unanswered. Can someone tell me what the current status of XP theme manifest support for PowerBASIC is?
