Create a basic classic white on black scheme, replace the dialog fonts with, say, Tahoma Bold (though I really recommend you type LucidaMacBold there). Try spotting them all (the rogue pixels in tabs, the wrong fonts and colors, the edges of icons) and post some screenshots.

Yeah, Major, unforgivable, stupid as a brick UI issues. Just try a white on black (or any light on dark) classic scheme and replace the system dialog fonts in registry FontSubstitutes. On XP everything is fine, Windows 7 and Vista both fail. Some graphics (icons, tabs) go real ugly, and you find out that some fonts and graphics are HARDCODED! Oh the shame.

Have they fixed the stupid annoying habit with Vista and how it forgets folder settings? “Oh look you copied a new media file into the folder, I’ll just reset the settings for you.”
