Old forms retain the old style look - not the new XP style

[Andy Teal]

When upgrading Delphi 5 forms, Delphi 2007 seems to keep hold of the old
look (win 98)
eg, a TButton can be cut and pasted from old form into a brand new project,
and will appear light grey and rounded, but how do I get it to look like
this in the original form ?
I can't see what the difference is between an old project, and a newly
created one (except for Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;)

The old look form is also causing problems with some new components like TMS
TShader

Any tips much appreciated.

Project->Options, Application tab. There is a checkbox there to
activate theme support.

Prefect - thanks very much - that fixed it.

I presume the issues I saw with the shaded TMS components would still be
apparent if someone ran my app on win98 though ?

No idea, I don't know these components.
