Description

Windows 11 implemented a new look and feel. While we get most of that automatically through the Common Controls we do have several places where we owner draw our controls and these should be enhanced in some way to look more aligned with Windows. This is part of our dotnet/planning/issues/27 theme.

I will be creating and adding issues to this epic in the coming weeks to outline precisely what we need to be doing.

- [ ] Investigate which controls need to be changed to align with Win11
- [ ] If available from Windows, expose a property that indicates whether the OS is in a Dark Mode or a Light Mode. I'm currently working directly with Windows on this.
