Styles in Set Preferences

[kris123]

I wanted to see the different styles and so selected different values from drop down and clicked preview.
I cant see any difference in my Cognos 10.1 developer edition.
Please can some one help me tell the difference with screenshots, if possible.

I have never sen reportnet and heard that "modern" style gives reportnet look and feel...but I was unable to spot the difference.

thanks for the links.
I don't see any contrasting difference. most are blue and one kind of teal. (one had depth information)

Example: Windows look and Feel is totally different from Metal look and fell (java)

Is this a Framework Manager topic or is it a Cognos Connection topic?

I use Contemporary (the one with the green color) as my preference on development and leave production the same as what users see by default. This just makes it easier and more obvious for my addled brain to know what environment I'm in without looking at the URL.
