Before the upgrade, I changed the theme using the Theme Selector tool and changed the register colors with a custom gtkrc-2.0.gnucash file. On PC #2, I recently did a new install of 2.6.12 -- this PC had never had Gnucash installed on it before. Both are Windows machines (Win 7 Pro and Win 7 Starter).

You're wrong about the theme selector. Themes are what provide the "stock" (i.e., not GnuCash specific) icons. Themes also control the general appearance of the the UI including scrollbars, window borders, menu fonts and decorations, and quite a bit else. Google "gtk2 themes" and browse a couple of the resulting sites to see the immense differences in UI appearance possible.
