I've been through the forum & realise that a dark mode for Sierra Chart has been discussed quite a bit before.
I realise there are some issues with the compatibility of Windows and Sierra Chart due to it running in a Win32 frame
- so DWM colouring doesn't have access to colour setting
- neither does Sierra Chart from the app itself
- Windows limits access to the frame settings for SC

I've seen this youtube video which recommends switching to high contrast mode
Tried that and it's too jarring for me:

QUESTION:
Is there any other way to force the top title bar to a dark/black colour?
See attached light-titlebar-win11.jpg

Someone mentioned regedits - although this seems to be for Windows 10
- not Windows 11 (as I'm now running)
- any regedits for Win 11?

Otherwise any good/safe github projects that can do the job?
