You grouped "QT it all works as expected" in with Issue1, and it seemed that you expected the opened forms (windows) to 
automatically inherit the colors of the main form. So, I had to mention that I did not know what you exactly meant by "works as 
expected" and pointed out that it does not work that way - even with Qt.

Are you creating the forms with the IDE and then changing the colors programmatically? Or are you also creating the forms 
programmatically.
