Is the VCL framework checked in your “Directories | Framework” option?

The styling issue means you are probably not including a manifest file. Have a look at the Resource Compiler tab on the Delphi action, is a manifest file specified? If not, point it to   
  
 [code]C:\program files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\11.0\bin\default\_app.manifest [/code]   
  
 or create your own manifest (advisable).
