changes to sysmetrics do not show in test

Windows Version: win10 21H2 64bit

change something in sysmetrics and then click test and nothing changes

changing item sysmetrics/part 0

doing the same in style builder results in changes showing when pressing test button

other changes do show if test is pressed in Msstyleeditor

Expected behavior changes made to sysmetrics to be shown when test button pressed

Actual behavior changes are not shown - however if theme is then saved and loaded changes to sysmetrics show

Additional context Everything you think helps understanding the problem.

  • [x] I am using the latest version of msstyleEditor - afaik i am using the latest version - i download what is sad to be 2.0.0.4 but it shows as 2.0.0.3 - i assume this to be simply you have not updated the reference in the exe

Hello, please be so kind and don't ignore the issue template but fill it out properly. It makes it easier for me to understand and solve the problem.

You are saying changes to sysmetrics from msstyleEditor don't have an effect, while from Style Builder they do? Please be more specific and let me know your OS and which property you changed. Also describe the expected effect so I don't have to guess.

For what its worth, changing sysmetrics doesn't show any effect on my systems either so I am curious. I should be the data for the GetThemeSys calls but since I never saw changes i assumed its overwritten somewhere or cached.
