How do I use Windhawk to enable dark mode for the Registry Editor in Windows 10?

Windhawk has successfully enabled dark mode for the Control Panel, but traditional Win32 applications such as the Registry Editor and Device Manager still do not support dark mode. I am looking for a solution.

    In that case, you’ll need to install and enable some third-party mods in Windhawk to force Win32 applications to follow the system’s dark theme.

    You're correct: while Windhawk can enable dark mode for some parts of Windows like the Control Panel, many traditional Win32 applications such as Registry Editor and Device Manager often do not natively support dark mode.
