Color dissapears at work

[nothingofvalue]

I have an app that has a blue background throughout. I develop on my laptop and test on my desktop to ensure everything is cool since they have different screen resolutions and what not. This app (and another one I tested) run and look as they should on each computer at home.

When I install the program at work, everything runs fine but all of the colors dissapear and the whole app is just dark grey and ugly as heck. My home computers both have Windows XP Home and work is XP Pro. I used the same install package at work that I used on my desktop at home.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Could you have the 'Appearance' setting set to 'Windows classic style' and not 'Windows XP style' perhaps?

Display properties/Appearance/Windows and buttons.

More towards what he mentioned, what is the actual Color selected in the IDE? If it's any of the System colors (Like ControlDark, etc) then it varies on the users color scheme. If you absolutely want a certain color, make sure you're using the regular color and not a system color.

Wow do I feel dumb, I had no idea system colors would do that.....that is the problem, thanks to both of you.
