Dark mode?

[DrMan1209]

I would love if the OnlyM app had a dark mode. This doesn't seem like a monumental change as, for the most part, you are changing the background to black and text to white.
The reason I open this discussion is to try to understand the codebase so I could implement it myself.
How would I do it, where do I start and would that be possible?

@DrMan1209 Good question!

I use the following MaterialDesign library that dictates the appearance of UI elements:

https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit

Simple changes to OnlyT's App.xaml file can modify the colours. For example, if we change this line:

<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Light.xaml" />

to this:

<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Dark.xaml" />

we get a change to dark mode as shown below (although you would probably want to modify the colour scheme used too (currently DeepPurple and Lime) to make for better contrast.
