Interface Design

Some Windows XP applications have really nice blue edge buttons when you hover over them, compared to say Windows 98 buttons which are just grey and black.

Do I need to update my VC++ 6.0 libraries to change this?

Better yet, don't pander to the "kindergarten bright-primary-colors" XP look.

Okay, that one was my opinion...

You mean the other way arround, I hope ? Fortunately, Win. XP does still allow you to use the "standard" look.
