A Dark Mode - Sensitive implementation of MessageBox for Windows
This is a Windows API in C which I made because I couldn't be bothered waiting for Microsoft to fix its OS's dark mode anymore. It can be used instead of the standard MessageBox API function. It's not fully implemented yet but does the job for what I would need right now.
Supports MB_OK, MB_YESNO and MB_OKCANCEL message boxes with either no or with inormation, warning, error and questions icons. DMSMessageBox honors the currently selected mode (light or dark) and can be updated in real time when such mode changes. It is also DPI-aware.
The API contains both Unicode and ANSI variants of the implementation which can be called either selectively with the W or A suffix respectively or automatically by simply calling DMSMessageBox with the typical parameters used for the normal MessageBox Win32 API function.
Originally created for Oolite (https://oolite.space) but never
made it there. This is how it would look with Oolite's --help
message box in dark mode. You can see that DMSMessageBox actually
honors it.
Build DMSMessageBox with
clang -c DMSMessageBox.c -I. -o DMSMessageBox.o
Then you can simply link it with your projects (see example.c):
clang -o DMSMessageBoxExample.exe example.c DMSMessageBox.o -I. -ldwmapi -lcomctl32 -mwindows
