MenuStrip Backgroud Color in VS 2005

I have two Visual Studio 2005 apps and for some reason, when the apps are run, the menustrip background color appears different.  One is a light blue (same color that appears in the design window) and the other is a light tan (matches the default form color).  I've compared the properties for both menustrips but everything looks the same, except for the actual buttons.  Does anyone know why one would appear light blue and the other light tan?

I have found that when I migrated a 2003 application to 2005 that it did that.  Were you migrating?

I did migrate both apps from 2003 to 2005.  I then replaced the old menubar and toolbar to the new menustrip and toolstrip in both apps.

I haven't messed with the RenderMode property.  It is set to ManagerRenderMode in both apps.

Ah Huh!!  Enable Application Framework.  That's the difference!  One app has Application Framework enabled and the other one doesn't.  THANKS!
