    Is that the legacy file dialog? Is that what you get with VCL styles?

      Yes David, is the legacy dialog with the VCL Styles Utils project applied (The VCL Styles included in RAD Studio doesn’t support styled dialogs). Also the new dialogs (introduced in vista) cannot be styled because the undocumented DirectUIHWND.

    Según la publicación de Rodrigo, en The Road to Delphi, la adaptación del editor de temas Delphi IDE Theme Editor esta lista para su uso en XE8. ¡Gran noticia!

      The VCL Styles Utils is project which extend the VCL Styles, So what are you see (the styled dialogs) is possible only if you use the VCL Styles Utils project in your code.
