Win forms font settings

i have one screenshot to show. On the left is settings dialog from my vb.net application and on the right is Microsoft SkyDrive dialog.

The difference is huge. What are the fonts in the SkyDrive dialog? Buttons, labels, tabs? My program uses Font = SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont (Segoe ui) but it's not good enough.

How can I achieve that my dialog look like one from the right.

Thanks

I believe that the screen shot of skydrive that you have shown is using Tahoma (or something very similar) font not Segoe UI.

Try this code:

Private Sub Form_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Me.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 8)
End Sub

Or just set the form font in the properties window.

I created a new form using the Tahoma font - this looks almost identical to me. My form on the left and your original on the right for comparison:
