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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDRMHFbCAhc&t=108s 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?

I have done the regedit on Windows 11 and it makes the top of the window dark, I don't think it is possible to make the menu area dark.

The Title Bar can be changed easily via the settings in Windows 11. Unfortunately, the menu cannot.

Is the menu bar the only element that can’t be switched to dark mode without using external Windows themes like Rectify?
