I have a strong feeling that if custom themes are breaking apps, then those apps are almost certainly in violation of one or more of tables 2-4, 2-5, or 2-6.


Maybe, maybe not. Some apps have no obligation to meet these checklists because they are for tasks that can only be performed by people with no significant visual impairment. I am not claiming that this a common case. But how would e.g. someone with poor eyesight use gimp successfully? Dumb line of business apps that have a simple UI made mostly out of standard widgets have fewer excuses.


As strange as it may seem, blind people can be quite good at resizing images.
