wxruby users - Nov 2007 - Why don''t my tabs look as nice as theirs?

Hello again,

I''m running my WxRuby scripts on Windows XP. I am new
at GUI coding.

Here''s what I don''t understand: why my WxRuby notebook
tabs don''t look like notebook tabs in other apps running
on the same machine.

I''ve attached two little examples. The first (mine.gif)
shows what I get with WxRuby. The second (theirs.gif) is
from a typical app running on the same Windows XP machine.

Is there a way to make my tabs look like theirs? I feel
like I''m missing something very simple.

Here''s my test script:
------------------------------------------------------------
require "wx"
include Wx

class MyNotebook < Notebook

    def initialize( parent )
	super(parent, -1)

	%w[ Apples Oranges Bananas ].each{ |d|
	    win = Panel.new( self, -1 )
	    add_page( win, d, false )
	}
    end
end

class MyApp < App

    def on_init
	frame = Frame.new(nil, -1, "Test")
	MyNotebook.new( frame )
	frame.show()
    end

end

MyApp.new.main_loop
------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your help!

Peralta
