Description
**Describe the bug**
While the application thankfully does have a dark mode, it defaults to light mode even though my PC is set to use dark mode.
The application should follow the user preference rather than default to light mode; I assumed it only had light mode initially.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Have windows set to use dark mode
2. Open IoT Explorer
3. Get blinded
**Expected behavior**
It should be in dark mode when launched
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Windows
- OS Version 11
- App version 0.15.8.0
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by setting Windows 11 to dark mode, launching IoT Explorer version 0.15.8.0, and checking the initial appearance. Trace the application’s theme initialization and system-preference detection, then verify that a launch in dark mode follows the Windows choice while existing light-mode behavior remains available.
