Majorsilence.Forms.Theming.WinForms

Applies a Majorsilence.Forms CSS theme to real System.Windows.Forms controls, so a mixed migration app — Majorsilence.Forms controls embedded in a WinForms shell, or the reverse — is themed from one stylesheet: same tokens, same selectors, same diagnostics.

using Majorsilence.Forms.Theming.WinForms;

// Once, as early as possible (before the first form for the process-wide switches):
WinFormsCssTheme.Apply (File.ReadAllText ("Themes/graphite.css"));   // throws ThemeCssException on errors

// Or keep re-applying while you edit the file (the Theme Studio workflow):
using var watch = WinFormsCssTheme.Watch ("Themes/graphite.css");

// Forms constructed after the apply: style them and keep styling controls added later.
var form = new MainForm ();
WinFormsCssTheme.Track (form);
form.Show ();

// What could not be expressed on WinForms (never silently ignored):
foreach (var d in WinFormsCssTheme.Diagnostics)
    Console.WriteLine (d);

WinForms has no styling system to hook, so the applier walks the control tree and sets properties: BackColor / ForeColor / Font everywhere, FlatAppearance on buttons, DataGridView cell styles, a token-built ToolStripProfessionalRenderer for every menu, tool bar, status bar and context menu, selection colours on ListBox / TreeView / ListView (selection-only owner draw, never on a control the app already owner-draws), the ProgressBar fill, Application.SetDefaultFont / SetColorMode, and the Windows 11 title bar via DWM. A control whose BackColor / ForeColor / Font the app set explicitly keeps it.

The property × control support matrix (native / approximate / unsupported) is WinFormsThemeSupport and is published as docs/theming-winforms.md.
