I recently switched from Qt to wxWidgets and since then I'm really happy about the decision and could not go back.
But now I'm having a weird issue with using wxAuiNotebook...
Before I describe my problem, here's how I built wxWidgets:
1.) Went to
2.) Compiled all projects from the solution in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edtion (msvc14)
3.) Included the "wxWidgets/include/" and "wxWidgets/include/msvc/wx/" path in my project settings
4.) Linked my project with "wxWidgets/lib/vc_lib" (statically)
Everything seems to work just as excepted but for some reason I cannot get the "appropriate" wxAuiNotebook theme:

I built the example from the webpage and everything compiled fine but instead of getting this wonderfully wxAuiNotebook "Theme/Style", I get greeted with this ugliness:
I know this question may seem futile, but I really need a consistent theme to go along with...
I'm using Windows 7 (x64) btw and the wxAuiNotebook control looks like in the first screenshot when I use the "classic theme" under Windows, but this is not a fix for me.
I really hope someone can help me with this obscure issue/behavior.
(And yes, I've already created a thread in the official forum but maybe someone here has already some experience with wxWidgets. Also feel free to move my topic to the general-coding section, since I don't usually know where to post 3rd party library related questions such as wxWidgets/Qt...)
EDIT: (Solved by a wxForum member):
Apparently this is a new feature in wxWidgets 3.1.x. The old style can be set by calling either of these functions:
Code:
m_auinotebook->SetArtProvider( new wxAuiGenericTabArt() ); // another look //m_auinotebook->SetArtProvider( new wxAuiSimpleTabArt() );
