Summary

While I was making on my router management app I wanted to implement darkmode in an elegant way that is simple but none of the solutions suited my need so I made my own!

Features

1. Easily integratable.

2. Simple to use.

3. Can force flat style (recommended) on all controls automatically.

4. Applicable to the entire project or a single form.

5. Highly customizable.

Usage

You can get the engine up and running in 2 simple steps.

1. Set the theme you want.

Theme.LightTheme();

Theme.DarkTheme();

2. Call the Update theme function and pass in the form and voila!

Theme.UpdateTheme(form: this);

Customization

• Pass a custom color palette to your theme.

Theme.CustomTheme(formBack: Color.White, controlBack: Color.Gray, controlFore: Color.Black);

• Use default winforms styling (flat style is on by default and is recommended)

Theme.UpdateTheme(form: this, flatStyle: null);

Extras

If your application uses images that you would like to turn into greyscale for darkmode you can use.

imageGreyscale(SourceImage);

And the returned image will be greyscale. Please do note that this feature carries a relatively high performance impact if used with large images as it goes pixel by pixel.
So its best suited for small images and pictures
