Windows themes and documentation

["Cardimon, Craig" <ccardimon -at- M-S-G -dot- com>]

The application whose documentation I am updating appears to change
depending upon which Window's theme one has chosen. 

 

How weird is this, or am I the one being weird?

 

Go here: Control Panel > Display > Themes. Notice you can select Windows
Classic or Windows XP.

 

Depending on which is selected, my application's appearance changes
enough for me to sit up and pay attention.

 

I knew that, in general, squared and gray windows, messages, and dialog
boxes would now have rounded corners in Windows XP and look flashier,
but it seems the buttons specific to the application change, too. The
app appears to detect the theme.

 

Has anyone dealt with this before in documentation? How did you handle
it?

 

Craig
