hi there,
Is it somehow possible to draw formulars (toolwindows) in the "old"
3d-border style of windows 98 even under Windows XP and themes activated?

One option is to create a borderless form and just draw the borders
yourself. Another is to override the CreateWnd method and call
SetWindowTheme to disable themes for the window:
uses
..., UxTheme;
[...]
procedure TForm1.CreateWnd;
begin
inherited CreateWnd;
InitThemeLibrary;
if Assigned(SetWindowTheme) then
SetWindowTheme(Handle, nil, '');
end;

A third one would be to simply omit the XP manifest (thus signalling XP
"it's an old-fashioned application")

Wouldn't work - when XP themes are enabled, all windows use the
themed borders, unless the explicitly disable themes.

Oh, sorry, I was dreaming about controls such as buttons and checkboxes.
Didn't think of /borders/. <blush>
