Trying to achieve this without high contrast support is tricky—it looks like it requires special handling just for turning the windows and buttons black. It seems straightforward without adding extra code.

The only viable option is dark themes from third-party sources. Only UWP apps can sync with light/dark mode.

Unless DM is available, my options are limited. The contrast looks unusual across all apps. Something similar to HC should work without affecting gameplay.

Because high contrast is a real focus, I moved away from third-party themes long ago. I can’t give specific guidance now.

Microsoft provides options for developers to understand the system's theme color. You can't force a theme change. Even High Contrast mode doesn't always work on apps using custom GUI frameworks. While many Windows tools support high contrast themes, UWP and possibly WinUI 3 are the only ones with built-in dark/light options so far.
