But in Windows 10 you don't get the "platform" look and feel for desktop Win32 apps unless you apply some "styling" to it, as we are doing. Kind of like Metropolis, but honestly in Windows 10 there is more platform integration for desktop apps.
My experience with Windows 10 does not agree with that. Just as is the case for all earlier Windows versions, desktop apps are painted in the system style with no extra effort required from the dev. Since XP we have needed to add the comctl32 v6 manifest, and use a Delphi that supports comctl32 v6 themes. But so far as I can tell, nothing changes with Windows 10.
What am I missing?
