Up to now I created my standalones with py2exe, including a manifest
to keep the XP look and feel. Now I changed my code with some of
Andreas widgets (very nice to make it to look better (Aqua Button,
FlatMenu and FlatNotebook). Andreas widgets are looking as expected
after creating and exe file, but the rest of the program looks again
ugly as before on XP, without adding a manifest.
Does anybody has the same problem? How can I solve this? Must I change
the manifest if I'm using Andreas widgets?

I am using some of Andreas' widgets too and don't see the problem you have.
What version of Python are you using? I am still on 2.5, if you are on 2.6 you should look at the different wiki pages as the manifest handling in 2.6 has changed due to Python using a different version of the MSVC runtime.

Some of the widgets in AGW use the uxTheme.dll file on Windows. When
"compiled" to standalones, py2exe thinks it has to include the
uxTheme.dll file in your distribution, and this sometimes conflicts
with the standard one already present in the target Windows machine.
If you "exclude" it using the "dll_excludes" option in py2exe you
won't see it happening anymore, hopefully...
Thanks for the fast reply!
I'm still on Python 2.5.
Andrea, your tip to exclude the uxTheme.dll didn't work :-(((
Any other things, which I can try?

Can you put together a minimal sample program and setup.py which shows the problem and attach to a message here. People might get some other ideas seeing the whole setup.py and/or will try to run it on their machines and try and fix the issue.
