XP style in DOS !

Hi all, today I saw a program running in DOS mode but had a XP style ! This was really strange to me and I wonder whether I can do the same thing. Can you give me some advices ?
I included the screenshot of that program.

It wasn't "running in DOS mode" - in any interpretation of the statement. If the app started as a console application, then it simply removed the console window and started another window.

If you use a program like Spy++ to look at the window class of that window, it won't be the same window class for a console app (pretty sure).

[EDIT]
I suppose it could be a Win16 application, which would be a "DOS mode" app. :)
[/EDIT]

I really saw it running withdown Windows environment ! So far, I can make a "rectangle" window using C language which can move,close,.....But it just looks like Windows 3.1 or so. I don't know how he (the author) could make such beautiful windows and icons like that.

Enjoy,

I'm sorry, but that doesn't even make sense. Quit.

i want to help you ?????!

How about OpenGL or something like that ? I've heard about it many times but I still don't know what it is.

all you have to do is load images for the button and crap, and you can make it look good.
