How can I control the visual style of C++/MFC dialogs in Windows 7?
Dark Agility for Visual Style themes size: 2.3 mb Author: xXiNightXx Author’s Notes: I came to the idea of making this visual style through all the comments about a new black/dark visual style for windows 7.

Download Windows_7_Skull_Visual_Style_by_TheDarkenedPoet.zip torrent from other category on Isohunt. Torrent hash: c22aeed72c9d40a5fb29c5cbe1adc6470e36d453. Hello welcome in this blog [Topthemes], we have lot of themes for windows, macintosh and iPhone And Free wallpapers, icons. This all free.
The 'Before' picture shows what I want, and this was the case until about a week ago. Now, my dialog appears as in the 'After' picture, which is not what I want.
How can I control which style is used? I cannot find any manifest file, nor any option in the VS compiler or linker options, which controls this. My project is being built using MFC as a static library, and is not Unicode. It is being run under Windows 7.

Under normal circumstances you have this in your source code somewhere. For me the system puts it in the
stdafx.h
File at the bottom:If you have code like this then it will have visual styles:
If you want to switch it off, then the link in the comments to your question tells you how:
You can turn off visual styles for a control or for all controls in a window by calling the
Andrew TruckleAndrew TruckleSetWindowTheme
function as follows:6,50277 gold badges2626 silver badges6060 bronze badges
Without programming. You can get the the style back as before, by turning on the Reduced color mode in Compatibility Settings. (Righ click - Properties - Compatibility), Check if this is suitable for you.
