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
