Aligning with System-level Dark Mode

Hi.

XYplorer is a gem (since 2006 for me). I love the continued devotion to the fast and the light.

What's got me writing today is a request for dark mode automation. Every evening I flip Windows over to dark mode and all the apps I use obey that system level command (via a setting). All except XYplorer - it's the only one now where I have to switch over manually (a first-world problem if ever there was). So, I'd love to see a setting for adherence to the OS-level dark mode.

Thank you.

Did not know about that. I'll see what I can do.

Well, turns out this needs a couple of crazy hacks around GetImmersiveColorFromColorSetEx, nothing of it officially documented. I'd say it's too early, dark mode in Windows is still half-baked. I assume other apps use a different window class that just does it by itself. XY is bit more low level...
