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

i did not thinki could save changes on this laptop but find i can - changes do show when saved but do no when testing
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.
i have updated the original bug report
