You have to disable the EnableHeadersVisualStyles[^] property in order for your desired changes to be used (i.e. not overridden by user theme). The default value for the property is True

E.g.

VB

DataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = False
With DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle
    .Font = New Font(DataGridView1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
    .BackColor = Color.Azure
    .ForeColor = Color.Crimson
End With
