Dark Theme for Explorer++

Here's a suggestion. The Microsoft Windows 10 October Update Build 17763 has an improved dark theme.
All opened windows apart from the control panel have a dark background.
A customisable theme & skin option would be handy to have.

yes I second that

It would be nice.
All sites have glaring white even this forum and stresses my eyes.

Where possible I try to set background colour to a darker shade.

I made a mockup by inverting the colours and then inverting back the icon parts to the default colours.
It's really just the white background that I want to be able to set to a black/dark grey. I use dark reader on chrome and firefox to make websites dark and have dark themes in my ide.
I'm using explorer++ because I really just want to have explorer with tabs and a dark theme.

Dark theme would be helpful for people like me who have less than perfect vision. White text on black background is much more legible.

Thanks for considering this enhancement.

Yes, a dark theme would be an excellent addition. And if it could be customized, and does not depend on the underlying OS version, that would be like icing on cake. A charcoal-slate background with silver foreground is heavenly, very easy on the eyes. That was why I was looking for a Windows Explorer alternative in the first place.

These are the normal mid color which you have mistaken in darker shade
