XTP 13.2 issues with Windows 7 Scenic theme style (also we have included screenshots of Microsoft Windows 7 (Paint) and XTP 13.2 so you can see these issues:
1. Should have window title left aligned with a divider to match Microsoft Windows 7, also notice that there is a white glow below the icons on the Microsoft Windows 7 Quick Access Toolbar icons

2. How do we change "File" for the file menu on the contextual ribbon to an icon like in Microsoft Windows 7? Also is there a reason F is underlined?

3. When the application window is maximised the icon and divider for the application is not correctly positioned on the title bar as it is clipped

4. File menu is a different style to Microsoft Windows 7's File menu, will this be changed for a future version?

5. Quick access toolbar is not of correct style nor is it vertically centered

6. Height of File menu graphic is wrong compared to other tabs on the ribbon and this is highly noticable on HD monitors and looks wrong

7. Quick access toolbar icons are not vertically positioned correctly like Microsoft Windows 7 and once again is highly noticable

Most of these are only cosmetic but they do not look right and will detract away from the quality of our applications and I am sure many other users will agree with me.
I look forward to hearing from you to know the situation regarding these issues we have noticed, some of which we did point out while 13.2 was in the Beta stages of development.

See the biggest problem is in Microsoft specifications to use Contextual Ribbons etc. in your applications you must follow the guidelines and we are concerned this will mean we are not following those guidelines.
