    The vsWinXP value originally meant, use the new Windows XP Visual Styles (i.e. Themes back in the day). Any when VCL Styles were introduced, vsWinXP by the very nature of how Embarcadero (CodeGear) implemented VCL Styles, the vsWinXP also meant to use the currently active VCL Style.

    Yes, it would most certainly be nice to change the enum value to something more appropriate, but that is not a simple task. Each component that has a property like that would need to have a ReadProperties override in order to “fix up” any reference to that enum that already exists in a DFM file. Although, I believe that is the default value, so maybe there are not that many references to it in actual DFM files.

    Feel free to submit a request into Embarcadero’s Quality Portal to rename the enum.
