I installed python 2.6 and python 2.5 and the respective
most recent wxpython versions side by side on my machine to port my app
to the python 2.6 version of wxpython 2.8.9.1. My app runs fine but I
noticed that my toolbars now have the flat style. I looked in the release notes
and found no comments related to this. Just to make sure the problem
wasn’t specific to my code I loaded a bunch of other apps as well as the
wxPython demos and they all seem to have the same flat toolbar problem. I
reverted to the 2.5 version of python and wxpython and now the toolbars are
flat when I run it under 2.5 as well! Anybody know what might cause this? I
haven’t seen anybody talking about this so I assume it may be something
specific to my setup. I checked all everything I could think of that might
cause a screw up. (I made sure my paths are all uniform when switching between
versions, I deleted all the pyc files for my app, I rebooted) Incidentally I am
running Windows 7 beta build 7000. This may be the problem and if so I
apologize for wasting everyone’s time. I just thought is strange that the
2.6 version could somehow affect an 2.5 version that had been otherwise working
perfectly. Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,

My guess is that you didn't include the manifest file when you installed wxPython for 2.6. If it doesn't have the manifest, it looks weird on Windows. I think there was a thread here last month about some things not looking right on Vista (a treectrl, I think). So I think the issue is either the manifest file or the Windows 7 has goofy GUI elements.
