For purposes of my response I assume you're talking about getting common
controls (including buttons, etc) to assume the look of whatever Theme is
selected.

In my own custom GINA (which is a pass-through with an alternate
screen-unlock mechanism), I had to do the follow to enable themes on my
custom dialog, as the themes-related documentation has a couple of gaps when
it comes to enabling common controls for this situation:

1) I had to make a call to InitCommonControlsEx in the init code
2) Added the following to #define constants at the beginning of my stdafx.h:

    #define SIDEBYSIDE_COMMONCONTROLS 1
    #define ISOLATION_AWARE_ENABLED 1

3) Had to add the appropriate manifest to my DLLs resources. Here was the
RC file line:

2 24 MOVEABLE PURE ".\\mcgina.dll.manifest"

If I skipped any one of these 3 steps, my dialog would not be
theme-sensitive.

Cheers!
