Styles not loading on Windows Server
I have a WPF application here with a lots of custom styles.
With Windows 7 or 8(.1) the applications looks very good. But if the application is started on Windows Server (2008 - 2012) the application looks like some of the styles did not load or some property's are not set.
I'm confused why this is happening, do I need to include some style information in my application which are present on Windows 7/8 but not on Windows Server
What I have done:
1. Installed Desktop Experience for server 2008 and it did not fix my problems. Still some of my custom styles are not loaded. For example I can't see my custom borders on the buttons.
2. Enabled & started the Themes Service (Like suggested in Toan Nguyen's answer). Unfortunately I can't change to areo theme via RDP
Here is a example screenshot. THis is not the only thing that is not displayed for Windows Server.
Left 2008 - Right Windows 8.1. To avoid confusion: The right one looks identical on Windows 7.
the reason why the style wasn't applied for windows server 2003/2008 or XP because Aero theme is not available on those operation systems. To enable Aero theme on windows server 2008 you can follow this guide
