How do I get these programmatically? Is there
an API function that retrieves these settings?

I want the setting that are under the "Appearance" Tab,
and not the "Settings" Tab. I suppose that this would
have been more clear if I left off the last word.

Control Panel---Display---Appearance
Under this tab are things like:
Scheme
Item
Font

From MSDN
"Unfortunately, there's no support in the API for controlling the Windows
color scheme"

check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\control Panel\appearance\schemes .. it may help.
Lots of options can be set using SystemParametersInfo()

That is the kind of answer that I was looking for.
It there any information on how this is encoded?
