Overriding theme

[ajtruckle]

I have not tried it yet, but the docs for Init says it uses the OS theme. In my app I have a bespoke appearance setting. At the moment I only use the detours route if in my settings I want to use dark mode. Make sense?

Hi @ajtruckle — we just started working on this library, so it needs some time for improvements. That said, theme overriding is already usable now — feel free to try it out anytime! 😊
(video attached)
The initial implementation is in commit 0aba86d. AllowForTaskDialog now accepts an optional Theme parameter:

DarkMode::AllowForTaskDialog(hwnd, pConfig, DarkMode::Theme::Dark);   // force dark
DarkMode::AllowForTaskDialog(hwnd, pConfig, DarkMode::Theme::Light);  // force light
DarkMode::AllowForTaskDialog(hwnd, pConfig, DarkMode::Theme::System); // follo
