XP Themes: Delphi 7 and D2007

I have noticed the XP themes work much better with Delphi 2007 without any
effort from my side. But where as the Delphi 7 with manifest file (added
manually) does not work properly! :(
For example, changing a panel color to clHighlight responds to theme
colors with D2007, but not with D7
Any ideas?
Did CodeGear fixed any issues with panels and labels as far as the xp
themes are concerned?
Or is it just my .res file?
Can I rip something from the Delphi 2007 to make a Delphi 7 project work with proper
themes?
Yes, I have both the versions of Delphi. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sarah

You could start investigating by using a tool like BeyondCompare to
compare the source code for the themes-affected source files in each
version. A good place to start would be to look at vcl\themes.pas.

At the bottom of the post, next to where it says "POSTED BY JED..." is
an icon that looks like an envelope. Click it. :)

That takes you to a screen that requires that you know a "friend's"
e-mail address!!!

There is a website address in my signature, it probably contains an
email address on the contact page. ;-)
Others have just sent their email to me in a comment (because they are
moderated these days - thanks to a non-tech user).

So? Don't you have at least one friend with an email address?? <gd&r>
My bad, I didn't look closely enough at the screen. I assumed it was for
emailing the author rather than emailing the blog posting to someone
else. I will leave quietly now.

No problem. I finally found an address that apparently got to JED.
Although I still don't know JED's e-mail address. <g>
