Skins on Windows7 Beta

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, 
i've recently installed Windows7 Beta for testing my applications with this upcoming OS from Microsoft.
All is fine, but i noticed some differences in some objects colorization, like for example the standard MessageBoxes of Windows (these two images was taken from the standard Skincontrols sample project where i added the call to a MsgBox, then i run the project in Vista and in Win7):

As you can see, in Windows7 the bottom part containing the Ok Button has a different color from the rest of the frame. These occurs with all others skins as well, except Vista Skin in which the msgbox appear with only one background color like in a real Vista system...
Obviously this isn't a real problem for my application, but i wonder if this depends from Windows or from Skinframework. (maybe Win7 returns some different color code when requested by skinframework)
Have you any ideas?

P.S. I'm using Codejock ActiveX Suite version 12.1.1 in VB6.

	Without a skin applied, the msgbox appears with a slightly different color in the bottom frame as with a skin applied:
