CXTPButton pressed states on Windows 11

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Customers are complaining when they run our app on Windows 11 about buttonns when they are in the pressed state. One can hardly tell they are pressed. I found CXTPButton uses uxtheme::DrawThemeBackground with BP_PUSHBUTTON and PBS_PRESSED. This has worked fine everywhere else but on Windows 11, I am seeing something like (249,249,249) when pressed and (253,253,253) when pressed.
I generated a simple MFC app and put a button on the About dialog to test and the results are the same. Has anyone found a way to get a color to draw so a user can actually tell when a button is pressed on Windows 11?

	I sent a request to Microsoft and they have replied that this issue will be addressed on two upcoming Win 11 updates. No news on when though.
