I can reproduce simply by making DLL that has function to open Window with different controls to test. When making DLL, set in PB Compiler Options 'Enable modern theme support (for Windows XP and above)'
Then create main executable to call that function. This time making the executable with 'Enable modern theme support (for Windows XP and above)' feature in PB Compiler options unchecked.

With the example you had given, I can simply inject 24:1:1033 resource to the main application to enable the xp style. But based on what you asked for, since the application are digitally signed and can't be injected with anything, your way of doing it might be the only way to make it works (SetWindowTheme) or use the app.manifest way (but this is also a no-go for you).
