Dark Theme Support

[TomDev234]

Can you add Dark Theme support for Wpf?
White windows are really annoying on the Dark Theme.
Eto is useless without dark support on Windows.

Hey @TomDev234,

Thanks for the request. Some work has been done in #2735, but it is not complete. I was hoping to use the new themes support in .NET 9+ for Windows Forms and WPF, but it is woefully incomplete. I think this will be better with .NET 10, but I have not yet tested it.

Additionally, I would like to add a custom theme for WPF that can define its own color schemes so you can create your own themes based on that. This will take a lot of work, however.

Just to follow up, this has been implemented in Eto 2.12 for all platforms.

Just set Application.Instance.Theme = Themes.System; on startup for WPF. This will follow the system dark/light theme.

There's also Themes.Dark/Light if you want to use a specific one, and you can also easily create custom themes with a palette definition like this.
