So, does the app know that it's being themed? What I mean is, for example an
app is written for Win 95. In the (unlikely case, so let's change it to Win ME)
event that it is compatible with Win XP, will it be skinned (without being
recompiled)?

If yes, then I think most of user32.dll would have to change, wouldn't it?
