[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Attached is a patch which listens to the OS settings change, to dynamically change light/dark GUI during runtime.

Disclaimer here, I am not actually a C nor Win32 developer. I am not currently happy with the g_hwnds[256] implementation - that is purely a sloppy hack as a proof of concept. There is probably a much better way to track the window handles (all outlined in the TODO comment). However, this works if anyone wants to play around with it.
