Supporting dark mode for apps in windows

[colombeen]

Hi guys,

 

I was looking into supporting dark mode for apps in windows 10 and detecting it was fairly easy. There might be other/better ways but this was my approach:

Func _AppsUseLightMode()
    Local $LightMode

    $LightMode = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize", "AppsUseLightTheme")
    If @error Then $LightMode = 1
    ; If @error is set it probably isn't a win version that supports dark mode

    If $LightMode = True Then
        ConsoleWrite("+> Light Mode" & @CRLF)
        Return True
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("!> Dark Mode" & @CRLF)
        Return False
    EndIf
EndFunc

Now when my detection function was fixed I tried to add dark colors to my GUI objects but for some reason I couldn't find a way to fix the light borders around the objects.

Has anyone found a fix for this? You can easily add a label with the correct background color as "border color" behind the input field on top (found this somewhere on the forum as well) but this wouldn't be a fix for let's say a listview etc. 

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks
