Why do text box edges disappear in stand-alone executable?

When using recessed edge type on text boxes with transparent frame color, the recess appears correctly when running in the LW dev. environment, but the recess disappears completely when running a stand-alone executable on the same machine. The edges show up momentarily on startup, then disappear. If I specify a frame color, it covers up the recess completely. How do I get the recessed affect to display properly in the stand-alone version? What's happening here?

If you have a transparent frame color, then the recessed edge should NOT show up, even in the editor. What version of CVI are you using? Are you using the Lab-style controls or classic style (if you are in CVI 6.0)? Do you have "Conform to System Colors" enabled for the panel under Other Attributes in the UIR editor?
