Well, my initial idea was to set up a window creation hook and subclass
(the user32) controls from there, using the subclassing functions. Being
that somewhat complicated, Kevin suggested to start with the simpler
SetClassLong() subclassing, and change the method later as needed.

Hm... although, theming is slightly more than just painting controls;
loading uxtheme with a theme activated also changes the sys colors and a
system setting (flat menus). OTOH, those could be written to the
registry when a theme is activated.
