I have tried resource compiling, then using `dflags` in dug to add the resulting obj file, but I still get the issue of the old GUI style.

Added a few more line to my `resources.rc` file, it seems like
the issue is the resource file not being touched at all.
I've put `dflags "resources.res" platform="windows"` in my
`dub.sdl` file, it doesn't even care if there's a typo in the
resource file's path.

I need to hunt it down somehow.

I need to hunt it down somehow.rc.exe comes with the Windows SDK - it gets installed in one of the subfolders of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin" (on my machine it's in "10.0.22000.0\x64").
