Look at the "Themes" property on your Form or Form Class.

If you have Themes = .F. in your Form, you'll get an older look where the buttons and page tabs are have rectangular corners, whereas Themes = .T. will give you controls that look more like modern ones with rounded corners.

Also, play with the ColorSource setting on the form. Mine is set to value of 4.

Also, on each control, look at the Theme and SpecialEffect property. Make sure Themes are enabled there.

Hopefully you controls are based on custom subclasses of the native controls so that your changes will propogate throughout your app. If not, you'll have a beg headache updating this app.

Also, you colors are too "hard". You've using "primary" colors for the Red, Blue, Green colors, whereas you need to use softer colors.

Google around to find some business-like color theme examples and use those consistently thoughout.
