    hi,

    i also coded a gina.dll, but mine isn't a replacement, but a stub, which
    passes most of the calls on to msgina.dll. but i can see the xp visual
    styles.
    according to the manifest: manifest files only affes whole processes, and
    winlogon.exe has it's own manifest, so you shouldn't need to create your own
    manifest file for gina.dll. you just should make sure that you only uses
    controls, that support the visual styles (i prefer only to use windows
    standard and common controls).
