Hello Everyone!

Recently I have been trying to make my program better, I want to add a dark mode but I cant find out how!
I went to google but I couldn't find anything on it. The closest thing I found was a dark mode using JavaScript.
Please Help!

Kind regards Dos

    You detect the mode change with WM_SETTINGCHANGE and lParam = "ImmersiveColorSet"

    then you get and change colors from Windows.UI.ViewManagement.UIColorType

    or Immersive color APIs like GetImmersiveColorFromColorSetEx
    (I had posted a sample in C++ to get all colors at How to get colors of default app mode "Dark" in my Win32 App )
