MessageBox visual appearance in Vista

I noticed that under Vista MessageBoxes fade in, rather than just appearing instantaneously. Nice effect.

Questions:

Is this behavior theme specific?

Is it behavior that apps will pick up for free or does it require implementation work by app developers?

Will I be able to easily do this with other UI/Windows?

How? Got samples?

It's not specific to message boxes. Any caption window will have an animation when it opens, closes, minimzes, or restores from minimized. The animations only happen when the Windows Vista Aero theme is being used, and there is no specific work for developers to do to get the animations.
