How can I find out whether Windows is using the XP look or the classic look? Haave a look at the GetCurrentThemeName(), GetWindowTheme(), and IsAppThemed() functions. Gambit I tried IsAppThemed(), which uses header uxtheme.h. This header does not compile in C++Builder 6. It gives errors on the typedefs enum THEMESIZE and enum PROPERTYORIGIN which have no identifier. Another question that came to mind is: when I build an appl. on XP, using functions from this header file, will it run on Win2K?

Not if you are using static linking, no, since the functions to not exist in Win2K. You would have to dynamically load the functions at runtime using LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() instead.
