Well, with themes some controls are often painted using bitmaps instead 
of colors and clBtnFace (for example) is not a correct color to draw a 
button on themed XP or vista. But if you turn themes off all standard 
buttons will be painted using clBtnFace.

To draw using themes we have a class TThemeServices though only a small 
set of controls and their parts is implemented at moment for qt, gtk and 
carbon. But it is possible to implement more if needed.
