Styling only one VCL component in Delphi

I know, that it's possible to disable custom styling for components, but how can I enable styles for only one component class? For example leave the whole form and all components on it unskinned, and skin only TButton. Like on this image.

Delphi XE2, how to keep form ON TOP after changing VCL styles

I encountered a weird issue with XE2: I'm using HWND_TOPMOST with SetWindowPos to set my form on top, but if I switch VCL styles at runtime, the window isn't topmost anymore, and unsetting/re-setting it doesn't fix it either. Any way to fix this?
