["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nimish,

I think what you're seeing is the XP theme being automatically used in RAD7
instead of the old Windows theme that may have been used in RAD6 (depending
on the presence/absense of a java.exe.manifest file).  As of swt 3.2 the XP
theme is automatically used regardless of whether this file was present or
not.  You can try defining system property
org.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.NO_MANIFEST at startup time to force the
old Windows theme to be used.  In eclipse this would be done by launching
with
"eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.win32.OS.NO_MANIFEST=1",
presumably the RAD launcher has a similar syntax.

If this proves to be the cause then I would suggest just leaving it as it
is, because apps running on XP should generally have the XP theme.  If it
makes your ProgressBar look very out-of-place then maybe it's the wrong
control to be using in your context (?).
