Jeremy, all: While I have not explored this into much depth (I run WinXP and have exactly this problem), I came across this help topic in VC++60: "Using Windows XP Visual Styles".
Obviously I can't point you there, but I googled for it and got: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/h tml/xptheming.asp which is that topic. >From what I've seen in XP-themes, its a nice idea, but it isn't consistent. It seems to be buggy because the coloring scheme does not always take affect. Not all apps seem to accept it( window coloring, but background is ok, ie, no ugly windows). There is some discussion on "InitCommonControls()" for each control and window. This could be an area to look into as well. Hope this helps you (and others), I just have this as a real low priority on my "TODO" list ;^> Anyone that DOES come across the solution, pleas post it and receive on heck-uva kudo!

For the time being, set the color of the window to 16 - works with older versions of windows to.
