Create a custom manifest for any executable you choose, and force the program to load the new XP style controls based on the current XP Style Theme installed. XP Theme-It can add any created manifest to a custom resource file, so it can be loaded to a VB project and compiled directly into the program's executable. Organize and maintain a list of all manifests created on your system so the visual theme can easily be restored if necessary. Also enables you to create a custom manifest by right-clicking any file from Windows Explorer. If you like this code, please vote for it at VBC.
