Windows 10 Dark Mode & VB6 apps

You tried CFD but didn't try DarkMode_CFD and DarkMode_CFD:ComboBox? This is not how green-field research is done.

Yes, you are right. DarkMode_CFD changes the combobox to Dark Mode. Today i will download the tool and look for other style classes.

After and before:



Combobox Dropdown Menu:



My current Dark Mode progress:



I used the backcolor and forecolor properties to set the dark mode color for all controls and the form.

Unsolved problems so far:

- the toolbar draws a light line on the top
- cant change the listview column headers color (this can be solved by disabling the theme style for the headers and subclassing)
- cant change the option button forecolor
- cant change the checkbox forecolor
- white background color at the HScroll/VScroll control
- cant change the statusbar backcolor

all controls are from Krools MS Common Controls Replacement.
