SOLVED:  I have solved this.  The button "FlatStyle" property must be set to "System".  This also applies to other VB.NET controls that expose the "FlatStyle" property, e.g. GroupBox.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:09:09 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20604&PID=69694&title=button-skinning-in-vb-net#69694 <![CDATA[Button skinning in VB.NET : I am using Skinframework v15.1...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=20604&PID=69685&title=button-skinning-in-vb-net#69685 Author: phainge

I am using Skinframework v15.1 to skin a VB.NET form in Visual Studio 2010 with the Office 2007 style.  I have noticed that buttons do not skin the same in VB.NET as they do in VB6, they look worse in VB.NET.
 
This is how a button appears skinned in VB6 using the Office 2007 style:
 
 
But this is how the same button appears skinned in VB.NET using the same Office 2007 style:
 
 
Can anyone explain the difference?  Is there any way to get the VB.NET button to look the same as VB6?
