The Startbutton and Taskbar do not have names associated with them for use
in themeing. If you want to draw those parts then you must extract the
bitmaps from the current themes resource file. You can use
GetCurrentThemeName to get the ColorName of the current theme and then
append that string with "_TASKBARBACKGROUND_BMP" or "_STARTBUTTON_BMP" for
the appropriate bitmaps. GetCurrentThemeName also returns the name of the
resource file to extract the bitmaps from.
