Front panel connectors

Quick and pretty stupid question: are all front panel connectors and connections the same? Do all cases have the same front panel connectors? Do all motherboards have the same connections for the front panel connectors (mainly talking about the little ones)? Sorry for the stupid question and thank you for answering.
