If this was a DLL specific issue, wouldn't this problem occur in other applications as well? The fact that this issue does not exist in Firefox 3 must mean this is an application-specific issue. I have no other way to apply visual themes in MS Windows.
In addition, this only occurs on certain google websites. For example, edit boxes draw fine in GMail (The search edit box at the top) while the edit boxes when creating a new post on the google group page for this group do not. Can you explain this very specific behavior? Also keep in mind that not everyone who uses Chromium has the knowledge nor the time to develop it. The best I can do for the community is report the issue and hope that it gets backlogged and hopefully fixed in the future. Thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue with me.
