TExplorerbar and TMenu

I notice that the layout of TExplorerbar and TMenu can be different on a pc.
I think is has to do with the Office versions...
My PC at work with Office 2003 gives other layout on my PC at home with Office 2007. Other PC at work with Office 2010 gives again another layout.
Is there a way to force the layout as intended? DLL?

Well nobody reacts... here two examples:
VERSION 1
Windows XP, Office 2003

VERSION 2
Windows XP, Office 2010

I got even a version 3, but that's an other PC outside the office and that version is worse to read. Version 2 is acceptable, but I like the layout be the same on every PC.
Is this possible?

Maarten,
the control TExplorerBar is painted by using the windows theme api, so it's
determined by the user active theme. When windows is using "classic view"
(that is, no theme) then Xailer paints this control in a default "old look"
way.
In both cases, themed or classic, the windows color scheme is used. I.e. if
you configure windows XP with its default theme (luna), you got the control
to be painted like the windows explorer panels. If you change the color
scheme from blue to plated, you got exactly the same appearance, but with
different colors.
