How to make a dark theme for an existing C# .net application?

I've an existing Windows Form application and want to convert it to a dark theme. Themes don't have to be selectable, it's fine it the whole thing is dark all the time. For some reason I didn't manage to make it completely dark when I tired to change the colors manually. Some things still have been all the time in the light theme and the whole app looked quite crappy... Any ideas how to make C# .net application dark themed are very welcome.

Asgar Ali That's a link to the webpage of Movie File Merger (the application I tried to change to the black theme). https://movie-file-merger.org If I remember right the main problem has been the ComboBox elements... I just could change it partly to the black theme. After trying for some time I gave up for many months, but I guess I'll make the next try sometime this year... 🤓

Asgar Ali Yes I did and I managed to make a lot of things black or dark but the result looked quite bad, because I just couldn't change everything. 😖 So I had to change back to the light theme again. I really love the black theme and hate the light themes... 😉

Did you set the back color property of the form?
