Those are nice themes. Personally, specifically for dark mode only, I use Rectify11 theme for Windows. Rectify11 actually fixes the problem with the ListView checkboxes. However, for the apps that I make, I end up having to target default Aero theme (dark and light) because that is what the majority of users would be using.

My main PC broke

So, new PC, new setup. Installed the current Rectify11 and, it messed up the PC. Patched files left an right.
I went to use the registry and oops, it would not load. Therefore, uninstall it is. Nope, the uninstaller is missing.
Now after a few hours of setting up my Win11-24H2, I have to erase it and install again.

Warning: test in a VM and if all looks good, do the same in the hardware PC. In my experience, they are chewing more than they should try to bite. I will not try it again.
There is no need to patch everything under the sun to make a decent dark theme.

I agree 100% about not patching everything. I apologize that you had such a bad experience.

I should have gave you more details initially but I did not want to go too far off-topic. I don't like patching digitally signed files since it breaks the signatures. So what I did was write a system tray tool in AutoIt that simply switches msstyles. So I grab the msstyles (theme files) only from Rectify11 repo and only use that. That way the system can't be broken from it since no files are being patched.

Anyway, I don't want to further go off-topic here. But you can feel free to private message here in the forum anytime if you need to.
