MSW toolbar doesn't use native toolbar background

[v-rob]

Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit wxPython version: 4.0.3, stock, installed with pip Python version: 3.7.0, stock

Description of the problem: Under Windows 7, the native toolbar background should be a silver gradient similar to the menu bar, but when I make a toolbar, it appears flat.

This is an image of the result:

Instead, it should appear like this (not my own picture):

The code I used is as follows (the menubar exists for comparison):

import wx

root = wx.App()

window = wx.Frame(None, title = "Toolbar Test")

menubar = wx.MenuBar()
filemenu = wx.Menu()
fileitem = filemenu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, 'Quit')
menubar.Append(filemenu, '&File')
window.SetMenuBar(menubar)
window.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, lambda x: window.Close(), fileitem)

toolbar = window.CreateToolBar()
tool = toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, label = 'Tool', bitmap = wx.Bitmap('save.png'))
toolbar.Realize()

window.SetSize(300, 200)
window.Centre()
window.Show()

root.MainLoop()

If I use wx.ToolBar(window) instead of window.CreateToolBar(), it still appears flat. Styles do not affect the flat look in either of the methods.

The wxWidgets Toolbar sample behaves the same, so this isn't wxPython specific. It may be that wxWidgets is using a different native toolbar widget than the one in the other screenshot, or perhaps using non-default options, in order to be able provide all the features of the wxToolbar.

Creating a ticket about this (if there isn't already one there) at https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ might shed some more light on this. Please reply here with the link to the ticket for tracking purposes.
