lookAndFeel stuck on Windows Emulated :-(

Under Rev 2.9.1, It's stuck using Windows Emulated in both the IDE and my resulting compiled executable files.
I've even tried setting the lookAndFeel on preOpenStack, but to no avail.
I'm using Windows XP MCE 2005 with at least SP2. I'm using the Windows Classic Style, but use a custom color scheme.
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks,
~Garrett

Hi Garrett,
In the View > Look and Feel submenu, is it always jumping back to 'Windows emulated' or does it show a bullet next to 'Default Appearance Manager' ?

Jumps back to "Windows emulated".

As I don't have an XP machine available right now, I can't check it - but I can confirm that on Windows 2000, the lookAndFeel also jumps back ; so it could be the 'Classic' theme that limits Rev to 'Windows Emulated'

That could very well be it too. Might be that Windows stores the data for the classic theme elsewhere.

I use XP with classic theme and various custom desktop items, but my Rev Studio 3 (and from memory 2.9 and 2.8) all default to "Default Appearance Manager" and (although I never bothered changing it before in previous versions) it's selecting the different options OK. I haven't baked a standalone with it in a different setting but the IDE seems to accept the choice OK.

Just a revisit of this...
I've since switched back to a windows theme and of course, the lookandfeel works just fine now.
