It mostly works but here's what I get with Wine File:

Any ideas about what's missing here?

I went through all of these;

None seems to be able to change the background of that.

I also went through all the themes here , none seem to be able to change that background color.

Here's the source for winefile in case somebody is willing to make MR for that.

notepad++ scrollbars appear white even after the listed "fixes" in the comments. here is the fix for notepad++

• winecfg set theme to no theme and then the theme on the right to darkmode
• add these lines of code to the end of the .reg file

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"ColorName"=-
"DllName"=-
"LoadedBefore"=-
"SizeName"=-
"ThemeActive"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
"AppsUseLightTheme"=dword:00000000
"SystemUsesLightTheme"=dword:00000000

• wine regedit /C 'wine-breeze-dark.reg'
• wineserver -k
• wine notepad++.exe

NOTE: this isn't a proper fix but is a work around wine needs to properly support dark mode. The scroll bars will look a little bit derpy from windows xp or even older but since it's dark mode you won't notice as much. Tested with notepad++ dark mode and vibrant ink theme. It works so far.

For the uninstall reg

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"ThemeActive"="1"
"DllName"="C:\\windows\\Resources\\Themes\\light\\light.msstyles"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
"AppsUseLightTheme"=dword:00000001
"SystemUsesLightTheme"=dword:00000001

Hi, I experienced something similar when I first applied this theme. You need to open winecfg:
Go to "Desktop Integration" tab → "Theme" → Select "(No Theme)"
(Since Wine 7.4, a "Light" theme is enabled by default which overrides registry colours).

Then apply the dark theme's registry edit. Taken from here.
