The fiddler-customization
project is a proof-of-concept DLL to apply a dark mode look to the Fiddler Classic UI which doesn't support it by default and is using
various, deprecated, WinForm controls making customization tedious. The tool works by leveraging mostly un-documented Windows API for drawing/flagging as well as C++/CLI to interact with the CIL components of the application
during run-time since Fiddler Classic is written in C#.
As mentioned this is mainly a proof-of-concept and the project is not finished. Some deprecated controls will still have white borders, dark mode rendering might not apply to all windows and pages and the visibility of some controls might not be optimal. It's also a proof-of-concept because none of the used techniques fully depend on the Fiddler Classic implementation, with rather small adjustments the same effect can be achieved for other WinForm applications.
Preview:
Credits to the win32-custom-menubar-aero-theme project for providing additional details regarding the mostly un-documented drawing process of native themes.
