XPify your IDE

When you use the VB6 IDE in XP, you get controls and graphics with the obsolete appearance (a la Windows 2000).

A common and universally know trick is to add a manifest file to the executable you want to appear using the modern XP themes.
All you need is take this file, and copy it in the directory where is the vb6.exe executable file.


The IDE will gain a brand new aspect, while not perfect.
