About
WM_NIGHT is a tray app that paints Windows' leftover light-mode corners dark. The OS
shipped a dark theme years ago but never finished the job: regedit, the Control Panel,
and a long tail of classic dialogs still blast you with white. WM_NIGHT injects umbra's
dark-mode engine into those processes and themes them at the source.
It themes Explorer and regedit near-perfectly and the Control Panel reasonably well, and
you can add any leftover Win32 app to a registry whitelist. A signed build launched from a
trusted location keeps uiAccess, so it can also theme elevated windows (an elevated regedit
or mmc) without itself running elevated.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
