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.
