Why VS and other IDEs uses the Windows Basic theme?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23161431

Question

I have a little question to ask here. I've not found any answers anywhere. Why in Visual Studio and the other IDEs, in the form designer, it uses the Windows Basic theme and not the current theme, Aero or not ? Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

In general, MDI has been deprecated for many years (at least on Windows), so the theme used is the theme that was current when MDI was still a viable design choice.

If you're developing new software, the Windows guidelines suggest using other alternative approaches instead of MDI.
