Switching Windows themes triggers WPF's
SystemResources.InvalidateTreeResources, which walks the visual tree cloning style values. WhenColorstructs are encountered where WPF expects aFreezable/Expression, it throwsSystem.InvalidCastException— a framework-level bug the app can't prevent, but was surfacing as a user-visible error dialog.Changes
ExceptionHelper.cs— AddedIsRecoverableSystemResourceException(): detectsInvalidCastExceptionoriginating fromSystem.Windows.SystemResources.InvalidateTreeResourcesin the stack trace, mirroring the existingIsRecoverableDwmCompositionException()pattern.ErrorReporting.cs— InReport(), early-return (log only, no dialog) whenIsRecoverableSystemResourceException()is true.The exception is still logged at Fatal level; only the error report window is suppressed.
