Appearance of controls with Windows XP Style
When I have my Windows display appearance set to XP Style,
Access 2003 control special effects such as sunken, etched, etc. are not displayed. Also, tab control pages that are set to a transparent background do not display as such. Setting display appearances to Windows Classic remedies the problem. I had not noticed this problem previously. Is this a known problem? Is it peculiar to Win XP SP2? Is there another work-around, patch or other correction, or is one scheduled? Thanks. |

I do belive that some issues exist with themed contorls.
Here is a few screen shots of themed vs non themed contorls. http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/Atheme/index.htm I had not noticed this problem previously. Is this a known problem? Is it peculiar to Win XP SP2? Is there another work-around, patch or other correction, or is one scheduled? No, don't think this is a sp2 issue. I saw some people (some other MVP's talking (complaining)) about this issue BEFORE sp2, so, likely you did not notice it. I do have some tab controls in the above examples, but I not seeing the problem you describe (but, as mentioned...some have....of course, all my "old" screens are grey...so I likely don't notice too much!). I wish a had a better answer for you..but I don't right now. -- Albert D. Kallal (Access MVP) Edmonton, Alberta Canada http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn |
