Theme Manager Window and Treetog's LeatherBox Visual Style

Hi, I am a newbie stardock/windowblinds owner and have been trying out various skins (actually, windowblinds visual styles) that come with the default installation. One of the visual styles is called "Leatherbox".
My question concerns the look of the leftmost list box (title = Applications) in the Theme Manager window after the leatherbox style is applied. The background of all the text in the box is shaded dark to match the leatherbox theme, but the surrounding background of the window is still white. So it looks very weird, like the skin is missing an element to color the whole application window dark, like the text background.
In contrast, the middle window of the Theme Manager is a scrollable list box of some kind, and all the backgrounds in that box are colored dark to match the theme. So the middle window looks "right", while the left window looks "like the skin is missing something."
Leatherbox is not the only skin that does this, which suggests that either it's impossible to skin this kind of window properly, or that the Theme Manager application is preventing good skins from doing their work. As things stand, the only skins that look "right" on the Theme manager are skins with white text backgrounds.
Can anyone out there shed some light on what is happening? Thank you.
