SFTDARKMODE Color Constants
Five RGB color constants that define the SftDarkMode palette. The helper uses them when painting the dark dialog background, WM_CTLCOLOR* surfaces, the experimental dark menu bar, and the dark text color used for radio-button labels. Applications can read the same constants when painting their own surfaces against a dark dialog so the colors match the helper's palette exactly.
#define SFTDARKMODE_BG_COLOR RGB(32, 32, 32)
#define SFTDARKMODE_TEXT_COLOR RGB(230, 230, 230)
#define SFTDARKMODE_BTNFACE_COLOR RGB(45, 45, 45)
#define SFTDARKMODE_HOT_COLOR RGB(55, 55, 55)
#define SFTDARKMODE_PRESSED_COLOR RGB(32, 32, 32)
| Constant | Value | Purpose |
|---|
| SFTDARKMODE_BG_COLOR | RGB(32, 32, 32) | Dark background fill. Used for the dialog client area, the brush returned from WM_CTLCOLOR* handlers, and the menu-bar background in the experimental HandleMenuMessage. |
| SFTDARKMODE_TEXT_COLOR | RGB(230, 230, 230) | Dark-mode text color - applied to WM_CTLCOLOR* HDCs, repainted radio-button labels, and dark-menu items. |
| SFTDARKMODE_BTNFACE_COLOR | RGB(45, 45, 45) | Dark button-face / panel color, slightly lighter than the dialog background. Provided for application use; the helper does not paint with it directly. Suitable for distinguishing a panel inset from the dialog background. |
| SFTDARKMODE_HOT_COLOR | RGB(55, 55, 55) | Dark "hot" / hover background. Provided for application use; the helper does not paint with it directly. |
| SFTDARKMODE_PRESSED_COLOR | RGB(32, 32, 32) | Dark pressed-state background. Equal to SFTDARKMODE_BG_COLOR so a pressed button visually merges with the dialog. Provided for application use; the helper does not paint with it directly. |
The constants are plain #define macros that expand to RGB(...). They are visible to both C and C++ code, and to resource scripts after including SftDarkMode.h.
Note: BG and PRESSED are intentionally identical. The pressed-state value exists as a separate constant so application code that wants to special-case pressed rendering can rebind it without changing the dialog background.
