Dark Mode/Theme/Skin

I wanted to know if there would be any plans to update Ant Renamer with a dark mode/skin/theme?
If not, is there a way to do this myself?
I only see the icon sets in the install folder.

Indeed only icons can be changed.
The program follows Windows' color settings. It was easy to change these to a dark theme until Windows 7. I don't know if something can still be done in newer versions of Windows.

Thank you for the reply. Unless there is something more than changing colors and/or night mode in Win10 to affect Ant Renamer than IDK if anything can be done.

apparently is possible since embarcadero delphi 10.3 or 11 i have a tiny doubt ?

i don't know if source transposable with such a version jump with borland delphi 7 ?

even if personally I would be very happy to see a dark mode in ant renamer,

I admit that what bothers me the most lately is the fact of having a 2160p screen and that ant renamer cannot be scaled in relation to the dpi. I would really like to have a 100/125/150% type menu to display the texts in ant renamer in larger size
we get older and our eyesight with us :cry:

and for it apparently ideally you should jump to embarcadero Delphi 11.1

It would probably require many changes to get all the related components to work under a much newer version of Delphi.

For the high DPI, doesn't Windows automatically scale all apps? On my system, if I set text size to more than 100%, it seems that all apps follow, even if Ant Renamer looks a little blurry like other old apps.
It supports the scaling for Windows 2000/XP, but by default Windows 10/11 does not exploit that.
In the shortcut properties, in Compatibility -> Change high DPI you can enable the option "Override High DPI scaling...".
