Designing in XP, running in old theme

I'm running the latest version of Lazarus 0.9.2 in Windows XP.
While I'm designing my GUI, the Lazarus IDE uses XP themed controls.
However, when I run my program, I do not get the same XP themed
controls , I get the old Windows 98 styled controls.
Is there a way to have the same look as the Lazarus IDE in my own
programs?

Thanks.

You need to create a manifest for your app.
name it yourapp.exe.manifest or include it as resource (do a search on
manifest on the forum)

There is a manifest in the Lazarus dir, check lazarus.rc, lazarus.res
and lazarus.pp(i think) it contains a {$R} directive, also check the
windres utility.
