Is there some way to make the .net designer use the System defaults instead of the Desktop settings?

I have my desktop colors/settings on a custom theme. When I open .Net designer, I notice some properties like colors and fonts are the same as the desktop theme on the forms I work on. I can't change the theme of my desktop becuase the M$ Windows defaults are too bright, small, etc. It hasn't caused any problems so far when shipping. But it drives my boss nutz everytime he walks by my kube and does the WTF?.

I would have suggested something, but you said "M$" so I won't.

you shouldn't have wasted your time and mine with such a juvenile comment then.

Didn't waste my time and I don't care about yours.

A quick look through the menu will find you the Options section.

I have read all about the colors, System.Control, ambient objects. I have done the 'Options' and only found properties that effect the editor. I am talking about the properties on the designer, F4, have to do with defaulting to the desktop properties when the values can not be found.
