Just thought that people should be made aware that the link leads to a page
which asks to install GAIN. For some people that is fine, but for most, it
is not.

Greetings,
We're happy to announce that ThemeEngine version 4.44 just released.
ThemeEngine is a library of components which allows to change visual
appearance and behavior of your application with use of the powerful set of
tools including visual components, convenient designers, easy-to-use
non-visual components, the optimized graphic algorithms and a set of ready
themes. ThemeEngine can add themes to forms, to the menu and to the elements
of the management.
Quote
Features:
+ Complete support of visual styles for MS Windows XP (msstyles). The
necessary theme is easily chosen among the thousand ones available on the
Internet (
www.themexp.org). ThemeEngine can save these themes in the
compiled application.
Quote
+ The theme format of its own and the set of ready themes which are
delivered with the product and can be used in the application without any
restrictions.
Quote
+ The themes built-in in the application, such as OfficeXP, Flat
+ The opportunity of the generation of the modified themes both in the
editing mode and in the performance mode, by changing the brightness and
the contrast of the ready themes.
Quote
+ The changing of the appearance of the application both in the
performance mode and in the designing mode.
+ The complete support of standard appearance. It is possible to
disconnect themes at any time and to get the interface of a standard kind.
Besides if the applications with the switched-off themes are started in
Windows XP the appearance won't differ from the standard one because
ThemeEngine is able to use uxtheme.dll.

one exe-file with a number of themes.
+ The opportunity to create new and to modify ready themes with the help
of ThemeEditor.

programming filters. For example using this opportunity it is easy to forbid
to use your themes in other applications written with use of ThemeEngine.
Quote
+ ThemeEngine allows to use more than one theme in your application, so
that you can receive a very beautiful and interesting interface.
+ The emulation of the open, understandable and properly described MS
ThemeAPI (uxtheme.dll) easily allows to add ThemeEngine support to your own
components or the components of other developers.
Quote
+ ThemeEngine includes an easy-to-use non-visual component which can
automatically adjust the TColor properties of any components, depending on
the loaded theme. In this way you can easily adapt any components to the new
interface.

combinations that can be used both with ThemeEngine components and in your
own development.

gravitation, additional system buttons, minimizing in the system tray, the
