Real people are indows users? And the real world is the commercial one or do
you mean crappy shareware apps as they do the same?
I don't think it is very user friendly to override the users personal theme
settings. The most intuitive way to convey information forces you to ignore the
users theme? I think you have some problems with GUI design and how it should
work.
But I won't argue with you anymore just go ahead, fix the problem and sent a
patch.
