PowerShell Tip: Visual Styles in PowerShell Forms

Question

I have a PowerShell script which outputs a form GUI. It worked fine in ISE but not in console. The button looks weird in the console.

Answer

Indeed yes, if we haven't enabled visual style then the look and feel changes. So we need to add the code available in Solution.

Solution

[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
$ButtonClose.FlatStyle ="Standard"

Enjoy PowerShell :)
