Changing the color scheme changes the graphics so this is expected behavior.

Hello,
On a fluke yesterday, I changed from my normal Windows High Contrast
color scheme into a normal option (Rainy Day, in this case) and
happened to notice something I found surprising. I wonder if anyone
can explain this to me.
When in the Rainy Day color scheme (and, yes, I tried it with a
couple other schemes) I found that Window Eyes read a couple things
differently. Let me start by saying that the size of fonts and
graphics did not appear different between the High Contrast #1
scheme and the Rainy Day scheme, but I cannot say for sure that this
was not different.
When reading in two different IBM products (Lotus Notes and Lotus
Sametime) I found that Window Eyes did not read certain elements
when in one color scheme as opposed to the other.
In Lotus Notes 6.5, when I normally go up and down my inbox, I do
not hear an indication as to whether my message is read or
unread. There is a small star graphic in the far left of the view
panel that indicates this (and I also hear the font color
changes). In my normal High Contrast #1 scheme, the star icon is
there, but I never really thought about the fact that WE wasn't
reading it. When I happened to be in Rainy Day colors yesterday, I
suddenly noted that WE was saying "unread" before each unread
message as I arrowed up and down the inbox. Changed the scheme back
to High Contrast and it stopped saying "unread".
In Lotus Sametime (my instant message client here at work), I
labeled the graphics recently that tell me if someone's status is
active, busy, and so on. This works find when I'm in High Contrast
color scheme, but I noted that the icons do not read aloud when I'm
in Rainy Day or another color scheme. I do not believe the color
scheme change impacts the color of the icons, as the color of them
is partly what indicates the status.
Any ideas why changing the color scheme would impact when WE reads
or does not read the icons? I might like to figure out how to get
WE to start saying read and unread in my inbox in particular. Glare
is an issue on my eyes, so I rarely use a color scheme with dark
text on a light background, but occasionally it is necessary.
