You can't use the Aero Style under Windows XP, the Aero Style is part of the DWM(Desktop Window Manager ) which was introduced in Windows Vista, the only option is use a skin library which simulate this look and feel, so try using a library like the AlphaControls Lite Edition components. (Delphi XE2 include a skin library called Vcl Styles, but this doesn't support advanced visualization effects like alpha blending and layered/transparent windows)
