How to change background colour in File Explorer and Command Input?

[MikeBaas]

My system in general works in Dark mode - even Explorer does it!

But TCMD's FX and CI both have a white background (I didn't try every single color scheme, but a few)...

I can't believe there's no option to configure this! But I couldn't find one either...

Can someone please enlighten me (despite me wanting to be in the dark...)?

The File Explorer window is drawn by Windows, not by Take Command, and TCMD has no known/documented way to force Windows to draw it in dark mode. There may be a way to do it in Windows or the registry, but I haven't been able to find it.

Argh - bloody windows :( They draw regular explorer fine, but not the embedded file explorer. Sad story...

You didn't mention command window - same situation?

The Command Input window is a Scintilla control, so it isn't affected by themes. I have added some code to build 21 to check for a dark theme, and if one is active the Command Input window colors will adjust (though probably not identical to the theme colors).

Thank you for that quick response - much better than before!
