4.1.0 - Force dark mode during deployment

Dark mode is wonderful, just wondering if there is a way to force the deployment and all UI prompts to be in Dark Mode or if that is exclusively dependent on the OS Settings?

It's set in Config.psd1

There is an option in the Config.psd1 to specify the logo icon for use in Dark Mode but there is not a setting that I can see to force the use of Dark Mode for all UI prompts during the deployment.

OMG I've looked in the docs, the source and the ADMX and there is no mention on how to switch the color scheme from light to dark or high-contrast mode. I'm guessing the parameter is Theme or Scheme.

We'll have to wait for Mitch or Dan to comment.

The theme takes on the theme of the user, we haven't put in provisions to change it manually. I get in 4.0 running as SYSTEM that you'd often get light mode when the user had dark, but this isn't an issue in 4.1.

If you're wanting to specifically have it on dark mode always, you'll need to put a feature request up on GitHub for that.

I think that would be nice. I'm building a deployment that will display items during OOBE, and it looks much better using the dark theme, so I'd love to be able to specify to use that since it won't be set at the system level during OOBE.

Guess I'll mosey on over to GitHub =}

Just be mindful that our UI doesn't display over the top of the ESP currently, though we are looking to do that via [Feature] Explore UIAccess for PSADT.ClientServer.Client · Issue #1591 · PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit · GitHub.
