Not all functions seem to work with SetOptions. e.g.
SetOptions[Grid, BaseStyle -> Directive[Red]];
Grid[{{"hello", "world"}}]
hello world
the font is not red.
SetOptions[Row, BaseStyle -> Directive[Red]];
Row[{"hello", "world"}]
hello world
...and the font is red.
SetOptions[InputField, FieldSize -> 5];
InputField[Dynamic[x]]
the input field size is much larger than 5. But on the other hand
InputField[Dynamic[x], Sequence @@ Options[InputField]]
yields an input field with field size 5.
...and so on.
What is the easiest way to work out (i.e. make a list of ...) which functions can't be used with SetOptions?
