XP-ish user interface.

I would really appreciate a windows XP compatible user interface. In the classic theme the browser looks good, but in the standard xp skin it is just awfull smiling smiley And it's not really a big operation since it's just a matter of including commctrl.h and linking commctrl.lib or something (am I right?). Anyway your browser rules, let it rule on xp too winking smiley

it can use xp themes, just download the manifest file from the "resources" section to the left, and copy it to the K-M directory

btw: you can "force" every program which uses the common controls to look like xp if you use some standard manifest file and name it like the executable and add a .manifest to the filename.

e.g. the manifest file for notepad.exe should be named notepad.exe.manifest

I hope this is correct, since I still use Win2k instead of XP and I hate the XP themes smiling smiley

Thank you, it works perfect!

One little detail is that the menubar is build up with buttons as menu-entries. But it doesn't really bother me.
