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!
