MAXGui: XP-Style Buttons

Is it possible to use Windows XP Style Buttons using MaxGUI. For example using Visual C++ it is possible (http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/controls/article.php/c5227), so I'm wondering if it's possible using MaxGUI because Apps who supports this are looking more professional on XP Systems.

I believe you can do this with a manifest file (search google). However, please don't force the look of XP, I hate it and always switch back to classic.

@Perutrbatio: I also hate the look of XP and have disabled the Design-Service, but most "normal" users prefer XP-look. But how can I include this manifest file in an BlitzMax APP and let MaxGUI know that it should use this ressource and init the XP Controls?
