[Delphi] Bad Installation or what?

[Bi0haZarD]

So i go get Borland Delphi 7 Trial and as soon as the Delphi GUI comes up it looks like something like Gimp..... is this how Delphi always looks or is there a way to customize it (ie. turn off the desktop in the back).. and make it look better.

If you are referring to the open form interface (ie, toolbar, form editor and property palette are all separate windows) then that is the way it is meant to be. There may be an option in the Options dialog to enable a single user interface, but I could be thinking of Visual Basic 6 (sorry, haven't used the old style Delphi in a long while). The new Delphi 2005 (and possibly Delphi 8, aka Delphi.NET) is (by default) a closed window environment (see below) like VisualStudio.NET.
