Jim, This should not have anything to do with the theme you're using, at least in my experience.
I have access to a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Win8.1 Home 64-bit. The themes included are three Windows Default Themes: Windows, Lines & Colors, & Flowers. Five installed themes from Toshiba, which don't warrant mentioning by name, and four high contrast themes: High Contrast #1, High Contrast #2, High Contrast Black, and High Contrast White. There is no theme by the name of Windows Classic. This machine has had no customizations made with regard to themes, so I have little doubt that what shows up on any Win8.1 machine will be a couple of straight Windows themes, the high contrast themes, and whatever custom themes the device manufacturer might choose to include.
