Darkmode Libary for Notepad++ Plugins

API Library for enabling the Darkmode feature in any Notepad++ plugin written in C++.

This API library was initially developed for use with the FWDataViz and GotoLineCol plugins.

The documentation here is primarily meant for Notepad++ plugins written in C++.

A significant portion of the code in this repo has been either imported as is or adapted from files in the Notepad++ repository. For more information, see: Source Code Attributions.

NOTE: This release is compatible with Notepad++ 8.4.3 or later versions

Source File Usage:

This API Library can be utilized by importing all the 8 files found in the folder path src/Darkmode/ of this repo into your plugin solution, and then adding #include "<relative_Darkmode_folder_path>/NPP_Plugin_Darkmode.h" in all your DialogXYZ.cpp files.

API Functions:

void NPPDM_InitDarkMode(const HWND _nppHandle);
void NPPDM_QueryNPPDarkmode();
bool NPPDM_IsEnabled();
void NPPDM_AutoSubclassAndThemeChildControls(HWND hwndParent);
void NPPDM_AutoThemeChildControls(HWND hwndParent);
void NPPDM_SetDarkTitleBar(HWND hwnd);
void NPPDM_InitSysLink(HWND hCtl);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColor(HDC hdc);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColorSofter(HDC hdc);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColorDarker(HDC hdc);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColorError(HDC hdc);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColorSysLink(HDC hdc);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlColorIfEnabled(HDC hdc, bool isEnabled);
LRESULT NPPDM_OnCtlHiliteIfEnabled(HDC hdc, bool isEnabled);
INT_PTR NPPDM_OnCtlColorListbox(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
