The change was intentional indeed. The original theme we used until 2.4.7 had 
a number of critical flaws that could crash the application in certain 
circumstances. To avoid this, we chose to use another theme.

You can change the theme yourself though if you like. If you go to the GnuCash 
section under All Programs in the Windows start menu, there is a small tool 
called "Select theme" which you can use to, well, select the theme or 
"appearance" you prefer for GnuCash. The theme that could lead to crashes is 
called "Ms Windows", so I would advise to avoid that theme.
