The Win95 styling of the toolbar and some other oldie-looks are likely due to a missing application manifest, not because Win32 doesn't support the newer visual styles.

I was talking about the MDI windows (those inside the client area, the subwindows), not the toolbar. The MDI windows, regardless of manifest, use the Vista theme since their look hasn't been updated for ~12 years.
This is actually something that has been reported to Microsoft before (here is a link for one of the feedback entries linked in one of the issues in the WinFile repository: https://aka.ms/Bjiosw ).
