Windows XP Gui problems

I created a URI with controls with a 3-D look as shown in design-view.jpg

However, when I run the application the 3-D look goes away and the controls have a flat look.. see run-view.jpg

Are these on two different machines, with your design-view being on a box which has the System Themes disabled?

The run-time view is what a panel will look like if the panel attribute ATTR_CONFORM_TO_SYSTEM_THEME is being set programmatically, or if the "Use Windows Visual Styles for Controls" checkbox is checked in the "Edit Panel >> Other Attributes" dialog.

No, this is on same machine.

Did you check to see if that attribute was being set to TRUE at run-time? My guess is that it's un-checked in the Edit Panel >> Other Attribute dialog but somehow being set programmatically. You could also try programmatically setting the panel attribute to FALSE at run-time.
