How about a dark GUI for TC?

[yiuimex]

In principle, yes. But colors in controls can not be changed, they are part of the current theme.

you must not use System Theme Color locate at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
as i say there are 2 API Function

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getsyscolor
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setsyscolors

it work for all Apps but only as long as User is login. after re-login OS load default so Registry is not change !

The only alternative would be 100% owner-drawn control like the Windows apps use.

i agree ... lot of work

when using Ownerdraw you still can react on visual Style / Effekt and paint what you want.

Waited for years. It will be super feature for me. Win 8.1x64.

Unfortunately it will only work on Windows 10 because only here Microsoft added the necessary functions.

I'll be glad for the dark TC GUI, I used dark GUI in Windows10 so I will have a unified style.

Hope to see beta build for Dark Mode. Of cause this feature is only available on Windows 10

I'm also looking forward to the Dark Mode because I use Dark Mode for Windows 10 1903 already. TC in Dark Mode would be very nice.

Yes it is - I have been using it in dark mode for the last few weeks to find remaining errors, and it works well so far.

I cannot say yet. I'm currently still fixing bugs reported here in the forum. Each bug report causes another delay between a few hours or a few days..

Thanks for the feedback So we have to be patient...

So we have to be patient...

Total Commander 9.50 ... The beta test will start here in the forum in a few weeks.

It can only be a few more weeks.

Hi Christian, I'm trying to adapt the dark-theme (win10.1903) on my own Delphi/Lazarus win32 software, but with no success. I'm not able to translate the example from Github (ysc3839/win32-darkmode) to Pascal (link on previous page of this forum-topic). Can you provide me with a simple Delphi/Lazarus example? Thanks!
And of course I'm thrilled to test TC 9.5 beta
