    Why does the appearance of my program differ between the different computers that I install it on? Thanks

        There are many possible causes. For someone to give an answer that is likely to be correct it would help if you are able to say in what ways it is different. For example are the colours used different? Are the fonts different? Are the forms a different size?

          I'm gonna bet my $.02 on a different set of common controls. A cool button on one PC, an old fashioned-button on the other.

            Yea the Form size is different, one button was completely blacked out on the form until i changed the theme to xp, is there a way to make the program just adapt to whatever theme the computer is using? Thanks

              screen Resolution would do that.

                I haven't tried myself, but you might be able to solve it by adding a Manifesto[^]. The blog entry is for WPF, but I expect WinForms to have the same requirements. Try this CodeProject article[^] on Visual Styles :)
