py2exe rendering

All,

After using py2exe I am noticing strange rendering of the GUI. In particular, the buttons and status bar background color. Is there a way to keep the styles like the before attached image instead of the after attached image?

System:
XP
py2exe 0.6.9
python 2.6

Thanks.

You likely are seeing Windows themes not being enabled, which requires shipping your
application with a manifest. See:

Thanks Werner and Paul! Shipping the app with a manifest worked!
