My hypothesis is that, when the style is unaltered, a native Win32 control is used, with its default settings (more or less). But when you do alter the style, a custom control is used, or a more customized version of the Win32 control.
I remember similar things from when I was a boy and toyed with the scrollbars in Internet Explorer 4: They look normal if you do not mess with them (the theme of the OS), but if you do, they get “flat”. Another thing is buttons: Windows Aero buttons look like they do – there is not really much to change. If you want to change the color of the button, you need to “disable” Aero theming of the button, and you get an old-style 3D, or flat, button, depending on your browser.
Just some thought. I might be entirely wrong, for web design is not my major field.
