VisualStyles are not supported on all operating systems, including Linux.  Your
code would also crash on Windows 2000, ME, and 98, as well as XP/2003 systems
with themes turned off.

You have to check Application.RenderWithVisualStyles before using the
VisualStyles namespace. 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.renderwithvisualstyles.aspx)

If it returns false, you have to provide a backup painting mechanism that does
not use VisualStyles.
