Dark Mode
A C# Class file for .NET Framework 2.0 - 4.8.1 (Windows 98 - Windows 11) to enable Dark Mode on Windows Forms.
By default only .NET 9.0 (no Framework) and higher supports Dark Mode natively, which is an optional download for Windows 10/11 only.
Example: Default Light Mode / Dark Mode
Script
| Repository: | https://github.com/d-v-d-k/DarkMode.cs |
| View/Edit Script: | https://github.com/d-v-d-k/DarkMode.cs/blob/main/DarkMode.cs |
| View Script Raw: | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d-v-d-k/DarkMode.cs/refs/heads/main/DarkMode.cs |
| Download Last Release: | https://github.com/d-v-d-k/DarkMode.cs/releases/latest/download/DarkMode.cs |
Usage
Add DarkMode.cs to the project solution.
Enable
DarkMode.Enable(form);
Apply Dark Mode style to this Form.
Example: On each Form Initialize Event
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DarkMode.Enable(this);
}
Example: When creating a Form instance
Form1 form = new Form1(); DarkMode.Enable(form); form.Show();
Example: When a Button gets clicked
private void buttonDarkMode_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DarkMode.Enable(this);
}
Inherit
DarkMode.Inherit(form);
Inherit and apply the current Windows User Light/Dark Mode preference to this Form.
Can only Inherit on Windows versions that support Dark Mode (Window 10/11), otherwise Inherit will automatically default to standard Light Mode (change this with DarkMode.UserDefault = true;).
Disable
DarkMode.Disable(form);
Revert this Form back to standard 'Light Mode' style defaults.

.NET Version: .NET Framework 2.0 - latest (4.8.1)
