Dark Title Bar on White Theme
Hi Martin,
Not sure if its intended, but the title bar is coming out dark when the white theme is set on the latest dev build.
Dark theme looks great by the way.
Also I am on the latest version of Windows 20H2.
- Thanks!

Immersive Dark mode / Dark title bar
I really like using WinSCP. It has been my daily-driver FTP client for years now. And I really enjoy WinSCP's dark theme. However, the bright white titlebar really sticks out and it would be very fitting to use Windows 10's (undocumented, but still commonly used) so-called 'Immersive dark mode'. There are several APIs to do this. I don't know a lot about C++, but from what my research yielded, those are the methods to enable a dark title bar on Windows 10:
1st method:
located in user32.dll using
2nd method:
(dwmapi.dll / dwmapi.h) using the undocumented constants
There are also the functions
I have written a small tool that lets me enable or disable dark mode for (almost) any open window, which let me take screenshots of how WinSCP would look with a dark title bar (please see attached screenshots).
I hope that this is enough information to get you started and I look forward to hopefully seeing this feature implemented in the future!
Best regards!

1st method:
BOOL WINAPI SetWindowCompositionAttribute (
HWND hwnd,
WINCOMPATTRDATA* pAttrData
);
located in user32.dll using
WCA_USEDARKMODECOLORS = 26
2nd method:
DWMAPI DwmSetWindowAttribute(
HWND hwnd,
DWORD dwAttribute,
LPCVOID pvAttribute,
DWORD cbAttribute
);
(dwmapi.dll / dwmapi.h) using the undocumented constants
DWMWA_USE_IMMERSIVE_DARK_MODE_BEFORE_20H1 = 19 (for Windows 10 versions before 2004) or DWMWA_USE_IMMERSIVE_DARK_MODE = 20 (for Windows 10 versions 2004 and later)
There are also the functions
AllowDarkModeForWindow (uxtheme.dll, #133) and AllowDarkModeForApp (uxtheme.dll, #135)
I have written a small tool that lets me enable or disable dark mode for (almost) any open window, which let me take screenshots of how WinSCP would look with a dark title bar (please see attached screenshots).
