The VCL does not natively support XP at all yet.  The closest you can come
with it, without resorting to making all of the new API calls yourself
manually, is to just include a manifest file with your application, as per
this article:

Using Windows XP Visual Styles

kbook.asp

However, there are a few known quirks with using manifests with the existing
VCL (such as drawing problems inside TListView, for example).  Otherwise,
have a look at TThemeManager as an alternative:
