wxPython + py2exe = old style looking

wxPython Users

Hello,

When I use py2exe with the following options:

“compressed”:1
“bundle_files”:1
zipfile:None

Resulting software appearance looks like winXP although I am using it under my Vista.

If I do not zip all the files in a single exe, then resulting look is native Vista and it is OK.

Could anyone help me on this, why is it so and how can I make a single executable and have Vista looking?

Note: I am using the current versions of both py2exe and wxPython

Cheers

Which is what version :wink: , i.e. current today or last week or...

Anyhow I don't think it is a version issue, the look is controlled by the correct dll being loaded which is controlled by the manifest you should have included or sitting next to your application.

I am usingwxPython 2.8.10.1
py2exe 0.6.9I think as you mentioned Werner, I do not add manifest to my py2exe. Since I am the beginner I could not realize that it can be due to that fact.

Thanks I will consider it.

Cheers.

And which version of Python? (Python 2.6 changes how some of this works...)
