I find this ironic. Windows is actually *really bad* in this very area.
The problem is they change their appearance too often. There are lots of
apps which were too lazy to be coded properly and just hard-coded a
Win98-style appearance into themselves. These now look hideously out of
place under WinXP, unless you give up XP's new-style interface and make
it into Win2000 :). There's even some old apps that still look like
Windows 3.1! By no means do all of these respond correctly to theme
changes, either. Windows isn't a very good model for how to this (or,
indeed, anything else :>)
