I directed my themes to the ones on the WinXP partition, and saw no difference after the patch, other than the increase in speed. However, this might not be a proper test case. I used CreateCompatibleDC out of the source HDC, and CreateCompatibleBitmap in the same way. If these operations preserve the alpha channel, and BitBlt(SRCCOPY) does too, the patch as a whole should be correct.
No, BitBlt and friends won't preserve the alpha channel. But that should be fixed in gdi, not worked around in uxtheme.
