There are many, many warnings for how old walk is. We are slowly going through and cleaning them up.
This is work in progress.
- Dark Mode is opted into by using
walk.SetDarkModeAllowed(true). This is disabled by default, and should be called before any other walk functions to ensure proper painting - If your program needs to detect if Dark Mode is enabled, use
walk.IsDarkModeEnabled() - Dark Mode is detected via registry
- Theme changing (Light Mode / Dark Mode) subscription/notification is not yet implemented
- Overhaul all components to default to dark mode if enabled on initialization
- Allow custom theming.
