About

A library for easily(ish) created themes in Windows Forms .NET to allow you to easily change colours of lots of controls

This package requires .NET 6, and can only be used on Windows version 7 or greater

Usage: Github wiki

Getting started:

Replace

internal partial class Form1 : Form

With

internal partial class Form1 : ThemeableForm<Theme>

Theme is the implementation of the Theme class used for this form. If you want to define your own schema for a theme, put that class inside the <>. You can see how to create a new schema here

ThemeableButton myButton = new();
myButton.ThemeBackColor = () => CurrentTheme.PrimaryColor;
myButton.ThemeForeColor = () => CurrentTheme.SecondaryColor;
myButton.ThemeImage = () => CurrentTheme.someImage;

myButton.Click += (sender, e) =>
{
    if (CurrentTheme == Themes.Dark)
        CurrentTheme = Themes.Light;
    else
        CurrentTheme = Themes.Dark;
};
this.Controls.Add(myButton);

Creates a ThemeableButton that swaps the theme between light and dark. When the Theme changes, the colours and image of the button will also update. This code is inside the Form1 class.

Themes is a class defined by the project using the Themes library, which contains instances of the Theme used for this form
