[Mono-dev] Patches for mono-winforms

[Jonathan Pobst]

Please note that this is controlled by Application.EnableVisualThemes.

Mono mimics the Win32 Classic look that the .NET Framework produces when 
you do not call EnableVisualThemes.  (Note that if you created a project 
in VS or something, this call was automatically added in your Program.cs.)

When EnableVisualThemes is called, the rendering should be controlled by 
the OS, so you will see the filled square on Windows 7, but XP is 
probably different.

I think Visual Styles work when Mono runs on Windows.  There were some 
attempts to write it for GNOME and maybe Mac, but they were never completed.
