Flyout Manual Theme Setting

[BLM16]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently the new flyout from v0.67.0 uses the windows default theme. It would be nice to have the ability to change this theme manually via the settings menu.

I have light mode set for my windows apps by default, however my "windows theme" is dark. As PT is intended to feel native to windows, being able to customize the theme so it uses dark mode to match my windows setting not my app setting would be nice.

It might even be worth making this the default theme for the flyout, using windows' theme over the app theme for the flyout only.

Scenario when this would be used?

The contrasting theme on the flyout which should feel native doesn't make PT feel like it is a part of windows.

Interesting. Does that mean you feel our fly-out is similar to the OS fly-outs? Note that the OneDrive (=app) fly-out and the Bluetooth menu (=OS) also follow the app theme. Even in Windows 11. The way you say it makes it feel like a personal opinion, but I suppose have the option can't harm :)
@niels9001 I believe you also had an opinion about the feeling of our fly-out...

I'd say the flyout should use the taskbar theme.. (like Notification Center and Quick Actions). But I wonder how we could catch that in a window itself.

I mentioned a few things in the PR, and adding the option was quite easy. I need to fix the window and make the theme update apply without restarting PT.

The question is what the default theme option should be. Do we want to match the PT theme? Match the default app theme? Match the OS theme?

I think all should be options, but the default should be decided upon.

Good question. This would be a good candidate for a Discussions poll.
