Request to make visual change to Folder control

Inside various folder controls in our application, we use group box controls with the "single" border style.

Folder controls have no option to turn the "3D-ness" off. This leaves forms quite visually "jarring" between styles of controls on a form.

My request is to have the single line border style present on Folders as it is set up on other controls throughout the painter. The tabs & left side of a folder has a single line border, but the bottom and right side of a folder seem to have an extra thick 3D-style border. See attached screenshot highlighted red areas.

    Another option could be to put the folder inside a borderless parent control and then have the folder with right/bottom offsets at -1 so that the borderless parent clips the right/bottom of the folder control. This visually removes the thicker 3D style border on the right/bottom of the folder/sheets for a right sloped tabsStyle folder control, as per the attached screen shot.

    The thick border only applies when you use right sloped for the tabsStyle as per the attached screen shot. You can also use a folder skin to alter the look of the folder.
