Windows Forms controls use a different method of rendering to WPF (they use GDI+). If you want the forms to have the theme, you'll either have to invest in a 3rd party control that does this or write your own theme management. Alternatively, you could use native WPF controls; for instance the colour drop down will be easily achieved by setting the display template for the control to show a coloured rectangle with a textblock beside it. The numeric spin control is included in a MS sample here[^].

just call "System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles();" in the constructor of your Window and it will fix it.
