Simplewall: Simple Dark Theme

[alterdaemon]

I hope it's not too much to ask.
Thing is that after MS introduced dark file explorer it's getting to be a standard, even for the win32 applications ;)

Where it is and how?

[alterdaemon]

it's a good example of what I mean:

I hope it won't be too hard to implement ;-)

[henrypp]

No, @dracula themes is for apps with internal themes engine (like text editors etc.). And i got some google search for dos and think is hard to introduce "dark file explorer" theme for _win32_ app.

Anyway, keep in touch!

Hi
there is an example of someone who has made a custom dark theme via installer for the qbittorrent

Anyway, it's a nice to have - Simplewall is already magnificent! :)

Found some undocumented features.

• https://github.com/stefankueng/BowPad/issues/19
• Dark mode APIs

upd:

• DwmSetWindowAttribute with a DWMWINDOWATTRIBUTE of 0x13.
• uxtheme.dll's AllowDarkModeForApp (ordinal 135) and AllowDarkModeForWindow (ordinal 133).
• The ribbon properties UI_PKEY_DarkModeRibbon and UI_PKEY_ApplicationButtonColor.

This has been closed, isn't there some kind of work around for the checkboxes? Can we see a screenshot with the theme applied please?
