Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
- Play a game with a custom interface
- Change your Windows theme

Expected Results:
Buttons remain unchanged

Actual Results:
Buttons lose their color (and possibly other) formatting

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Yes
In other games? Think so
In other user accounts? Most likely
On other computers? Unknown

When does the problem NOT occur?
If you don't change the theme

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions?
Possibly, but it goes back too far for me to bother checking

Workarounds:
Don't change your windows theme while playing a game, or restart the game afterward.
I believe there's another bug report open on something similar. If there's a message Windows sends when the theme changes we can probably respond to it and make adjustments. I'm not aware of such a message however.
It took a little bit to track down [for some reason], but perhaps WM_THEMECHANGED might be of interest? I don't have a Windows application on-hand to verify, but it seems to fit the bill.
