How about the menu and title bars? Those actually nag me more than the scroll bars in dark mode.

Don't worry, when I see a way I'll do it.

Oh, I'm not worried, but it would be welcome.

Concerning menu and title bar colors, is this applicable or out to lunch?

This code alters the system colors. Not what anybody here would want.

OK thanks Don. I know VBA is very close cousin or subset to VB. Is this question someone is asking, "Can you change the color of the titlebar of a userform in VBA using Windows API?" here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/236 ... indows-api getting closer to what you would need to do? Interesting, but what this guy is actually doing is hiding the title bar and replacing it with his own picture bar and label text. Maybe not what you'd want to do but interesting in any case.

I never had the intention to color the title bar. I think that color should be in the global domain of Windows.

Agree completely. Don't mess with titlebars! I use AeroGlass with black desktop, so my titlebars are already perfect, it's just the menubar and scrollbars that need to honor Dark Mode:

Yeah, I should have searched for code to achieve dark menu and scroll bars.

I agree. Too dark will harm to eyes.

I expect you've already tried, but can't you create your own scrollbars and menu bar? That's how some apps get around it.

It's only here now: View | Views | Dark Mode. And there is a toolbar button for it.
