[DUG] D2007 under VIsta

[John Bird]

So far the entry onto Vista has been quite painless.

I installed D2007 from a copy of the update from July/Aug last year I still
had on the PC. My notes so far:

-is there are later D2007 update that the July/Aug 2007 one that I need to
track down?  I don't recall

-Setting up D2007 was the install time, plus copying over the source
folders.

-There is no automated way to change paths - I have migrated to a different
drive letter so to get rid of absolute paths
 I deleted all the *.DSK files,  *.IDENTCACHE, *.LOCAL.  And for each
project manually edited project options and Directories/Conditionals
 It would be a good tool to be able to automate this...

-Installed my components again, most of them all in one main package so that
was about 5 minutes, just had to install the package.

-All runs fine.  I Like most parts of the Vista themes and appearances.

-The only thing I am puzzled by is the default form colour (clBtnFace) has
changed from a pale grey/brown (quite a warm colour) to a bluish grey.  It's
a tad ugly and looks a bit like Windows 2000.  And the standard Vista themes
don't change this - they only apply to borders and title bars.....is there
any easy way to tweak these colours?

-also my main menu program, which I have a shortcut to on the desktop,
always gets a UAC prompt when I run it.  How do I set this program to be
acceptable short of turning off UAC?
