I am currently developing a program in python and planning to
distribute
it as executable using PyInstaller.
I just tried building it, and after some failes initial attempts, I now
have a version that does not immediately crash.
I noticed, however, that the appearance and design of my application
has changed. If I start it via python, I get these nice Windows XP
themed tabs and buttons, if I start the generated exe from PyInstaller,
it has this kinda old-fashioned look, it looks like a Windows 2k
application.
Is there any way to fix this?
By the way, I'm using Python 2.5 and wxPython 2.8
Thanks,
Hannes
Which version of PyInstaller are you running? This should be fixed in
the latest release.

Thanks for the quick reaction to my posting!
I am using PyInstaller Version 1.3 from
http://pyinstaller.hpcf.upr.edu/source/1.3/pyinstaller_1.3.zip
Do I need to get a development snapshot?

No that version should be fine (even if you picked up from the old site).
Are you building a windowed executable or a console executable? Did you
run Makespec.py with the --windowed option? If not, you can try
regenerating the .spec file (or simply hand-editing it) to turn on
windowed support.

Oh, nice, I didn't know that this option is required. The manual only
told me that this suppresses the console. Thanks for the help.
By the way: The link to the latest manual on the
http://www.pyinstaller.org site is broken.
it should be: http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/file/trunk/doc/Manual.html?rev=latest&format=raw
Could someone with the appropriate access rights please fix it :) and
perhaps add it to the manual that the -w option also enables themes
for wxPython.

This is actually a "bug" in Windows, if anything.

OK fixed thanks!

I added an entry to the FAQ instead. I couldn't stand putting a wxPython-ism
detail to the general manual :)
