Windows XP Visual Style 
========================

Background:
-----------

Windows XP Pro & Home allow additional control over the visual
style of various controls and windows. General settings for your
machine are established under Appearance tab of Display Properties
in Control Panel, where you can switch between Classic and Windows
XP style.

Whether or not a specific application also uses XP Visual styles
can be built into an application or enabled using a 'manifest'
file. If a properly named and constructed .manifest file is found
in the same path as that application, XP visual styles will be
used.

The name for the .manifest file should be 
  <name of app including extension>.manifest
 
For Search and Replace the file is 
  SR32.exe.manifest
 
The content of the .manifest is fairly straightforward. See 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp 
for more information.


Enable Visual Style on XP:
--------------------------

If the Search and Replace installer detects the OS as XP,
SR32.exe.manifest is put in place by default. 

To manually enable Visual Styles support, copy 'SR32.exe.manifest'
from 'SR_XPVisualStyle.zip' into the same the same path as
SR32.exe. The default path is C:\Tools\SR. The next time you start
Search and Replace it will use the XP Visual Styles.


Disable Visual Style on XP:
---------------------------

Exit Search and Replace and delete (or rename) 'SR32.exe.manifest'.
