Maybe a B_LOOK_CHANGED and then a bitmask (uint32) included in the

query the flags if it wanted to be a bit more granular.

That would certainly work, but then we end up defining a bitmask.. at
which point we'd suffer less of a performance hit (and less work) just
using individual message 'what' values.
Thinking on it, I think we'd need one message for colors (where you
really just need to set view colors or invalidate a view) and one for
font or decor (where you may need to reflow the layout).
B_COLORS_CHANGED (panel, control, etc. colors)
B_LOOK_CHANGED (font, decor, whatever)
