[DUG] Win XP Themes

[Robert martin]

Hi

FYI

You can just use the manifest file as stacey points out, however with 
older Delphis (<=6 I think) you will get a listview error if using it 
report mode.  This can be fixed but you need to edit the Source to fix 
it, which may or may not be an option for you.
