NOTES

I'm not sure what the second parameter is (the datatype is likely wrong), other then this: Under XP if I pass char b[] = ""; the theme is applied with the screen redrawing really badly (flickers) char b[] = " "; where can be one or more of any character, makes no difference the theme is applied smoothly (screen does not flicker) char *b = " " or NULL; where can be zero or more of any character, makes no difference the function fails returning invalid parameter... very strange

IMPLEMENTATION

Exported by ordinal only. Use GetProcAddress(3w) to obtain a pointer to the function.

Implemented in "dlls/uxtheme/system.c".
