Well, if your using system drawn controls and forms then they're going to look like whatever theme the user is using. Windows Vista and 7 have that whole Aero theme going on, and some buttons and menus may look slightly different than on XP.

If you had a custom theme on your application though and it plain doesn't work on Win7, well that's a different and rather more specific problem altogether.

The GUI is controlled by the OS unless you specifically change some values in your design or code.
