I've been using VFP with Themes enabled and XP for so long that I had forgotten what un-themed pageframes look like. When I disabled themes to see what a customer was seeing I was surprised to see how little contrast there is between seperate tabs of a pageframe. Everything looks great until tab 2 thru N is selected. What I see on my system is that the tab to the left of the selected tab has a white border. This makes it difficult to see the difference between the selected tab and the tab to its left.

I'm wondering what determines that white border: a sysmetrics() value or something else? I would like my pageframe to use a dark gray vs. white border so that the distinction between tabs is easier to see.

Any suggestions (other than using different color page backgrounds or turning off tabs and managing my own tab controls)?

Thank you,
Malcolm
