Blue menu bar

And it will also look different on Vista (On XP it looks 3D and on Vista it looks flat).

What I usually do is either use a decent menu bar (Like infragistics), or use a background image to the menu bar which gives it a Vista look (like a black 3D background). This way it looks cool and it also looks the same on both Vista and XP.

I don't want it to look the same on Vista and XP, I'm wanting the menu bar to take on the appearance of the operating system. The first image is not the normal XP menu bar, the second one is. There's bound to be a standard menubar component in Visual Studio for this.

Thanks,

There is 2.0 or 3.5, not 2.5 framework version.  Is this a VB.NET application?

VB.NET applications have a project setting that is shown in the attached image.

For C#, there is a setting in the Program.cs:

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();

Hi,

Yes you are correct - it is a 2.0 version. No this is a C# application. I've checked the Program.cs, and the EnableVisualStyles method is already getting called?

Thanks,
Uni

Was the application migrated from 1.1 to 2.0?  If you create a new project, and a new form, do you have the same problem?

Is that a MenuStrip or a MainMenu object?

It is a MenuStrip, I don't appear to have a MainMenu object in the toolbox?

>>Was the application migrated from 1.1 to 2.0?  If you create a new project, and a new form, do you have the same problem?

No, this is a new project using the 2.0 framework from the start.

If it is a MenuStrip, what is the setting for RenderMode?

If it is a MenuStrip, what is the setting for RenderMode?
ManagerRenderMode

That's the ticket! :D

By the way if you're familiar with C#, I have a question here if you fancy:
