form title bar

[JuggaloBrotha]

is there a way to have the form show with the windows xp "windows classic" theme for my application regardless what the theme is on the system

i've noticed that with if the theme on the system is anything other than windows classic the title bar is taller and therefor the form's height is bigger (taller) which means some stuff (placed in code) doesnt appear correctly

You maybe able to do this with a manifest file if you select an older control version, I've not done it so you'll need to play around with it. Here's a link to get you started:

You can make your code independent of the border by using the ClientSize property instead of the Size property as I assume you are doing .
