Delphi 2010 button "look and feel"
How to convert a Delphi 6 project to Delphi 2010
convert old Delphi project to Delphi 2010 "look & feel" to Delphi 2010
buttons in Delphi project still look old
move project from old Delphi version to Delphi 2010
I bought a new Windows 7 machine. It's a Packard Bell IXTREME X5620 with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 processor. In general use it is wickedly fast. I installed Delphi 2010 on the Windows 7 machine and ported all my Delphi 6 projects from my old trusty XP machine to the new one.
I noticed that in the designer the buttons were looking very up to date and Windows 7 ish but when I ran the application the form looked Windows 7 style but the buttons and other controls were clunky old XP/Delphi 6 buttons. Very grey and stiff with sharp corners that any unsuspecting child could injure themselves on.
So I set about looking for a solution.
Select Project/Options/Application and set the "Enable runtime themes"
This does the trick. Now everything is looking nice and modern.
