>I agree, it can be heartbreaking to see a user's color scheme imposed on your application, but if the user likes it (and musn't they if they've chosen the colors?) that's all that really matters. If they've set the scheme to something that makes my apps un-usable, then it would be accross the board and all windows standanrd apps would be un-usable.

I guess what I mean is not a conflict in style between me and the user, but rather how I might use colors to signify special events or notices and how these colors might be masked or misinterpreted if the user has too wild of a scheme.
