Colour themes shouldn't get broken after updates of the DE/WM and if fonts are large, windows automatically should add scroll bars if needed. Unfortunately several apps don't care about the users DE/WM settings without providing good themes on their own and unfortunately the Linux DEs are a PITA because each upgrade might break the theme and WMs are often not that easy to configure as DEs are. However, I never noticed an issue caused by an upgrade of openbox and JWM, but Xfce4 became a PITA. A completely no-go are all those apps that try to provide photo-realistic GUIs, that fake to be analog hardware. Apart from the bad taste of this kind of theme art, the bigger issues is, that this kind of theme art often make fonts and controls less good visible. It seems to be out of style to work in front of a monitor at daylight while wearing reading glasses.
