I recently solved this by putting the following snippet of SWF before any of the Gtk# initialization stuff:
Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles (); Forms.Application.DoEvents (); This ensured that on the Windows level, the visual style stuff was enabled properly, which was then picked up by the WIMP theme properly. Why this is necessary, and why this works without the above code for *some* applications is *beyond* me, but my only guess is some codepaths touching Windows API before WIMP is initialized, and others only after? See if the above helps? -pete On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 12:55:30AM -0700, Jupe wrote: > > Another confirmation here. Tried all the 2.12 installers. Problem on XP and > Vista.
