<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The page needs to reset when a theme is changed because all the
element need to be redrawn using the new colours. I don’t know up front what elements
a page has and whether they are part of the display or not. There are two
options:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><span>-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Reset the page and let the parser redraw everything by resetting
the page;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><span>-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Keep track of all current elements and redraw them one by one
without redrawing the page. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The second options is much more difficult, especially when you
think about handling ‘any’ interactivity, possibly many levels deep, with custom
items drawn by the developer using the default colours for the current theme.
Keeping track of that is a nightmare, and would probably involve the developer in
signalling which interface items needed to be redrawn, and how.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">It is much easier to reset the page. The best thing I can do is
to add a prompt ‘Changing the theme will reset the page. Do you want to
continue…?’</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">In the two years the software’s been out there, this is the first
time the issue has surfaced, so I don’t think it’s a major problem,</span></p>
