Easy 2025 way for full dark mode?

Just the title.
Any easy way to make win11 full dark on 26100.712?
No Uxpatchers on other bullshit that breaks windows?
Using only Explorerpatcher,

Used back on win10 high contrast greyeve theme from github and worked wonders on everything.
Win11 dark mode is lacking ofcourse. most softwares flashbang or leave white window bars and classic control panel is still white not to mention other UI like run, winver, legacy copy-paste window etc.

Some tricks to use aside from downloading "patchers" only to break system?
Back in the days Greyevetheme was enough for me but ofcourse not on w11 anymore.

Why not use the vivetool switches that everyone else uses?

It will enable all available dark items. There is a collection of registry key switches elsewhere in this forum that throws all available switches search for 2025-12-KB5072033-Main-Feature-Bundle.

No, it's related to the feature switches needed to enable Dark mode on individual items. It's a registry file.

Secureuxtheme does not modify system files and you can load full dark themes

And destroy carefully tweaked iso I am on, basically forcing me to redo hundreds of hours Ive put into? If thats a simple couple mb update that alone makes the features I want I would give it a shot. otherwise it is a hard pass. Would rather do it old fashioned than this.

Using the enablement package didnt change a thing as far as my customisation was concerned.

I use SecureUXTheme for quite a while now with Rectify11 themes and Windhawk mod I've built to automatically enable dark title bars with dark os mode, haven't encountered any problems at all. If not this, StartAllBack Dark Magic mode is as best as you can get.

You search this forum for the 25H2 enablement package and install it followed by a reboot.

W11 LTSC 24H2 26100.712

??? 712? Win11 24H2 has a base version of 1742. Since 24H2 came out a lot has been changed. I am sitting on 26200.7462 (in real life; 26100.7462) I use the Dark theme in Windows also. It does what it needed to do with a lot of exceptions like every item when using the God mode panel. These program are based on the "old" Windows (white) look and can't be reached by normal options. That dark mode belongs to personal settings and are not system wide. Why not change the rest also then? Well I think it's has it's reasons. It's beyond the normal Windows settings. Safety also. What if you choose a color whereby you can't read anything anymore (Yellow background with white letters) on your screen? Thank god there is that basic white box with black letters you can read.... I think that any other UI program, tweak etc. won't go there either. Many programs I start follow the Windows Personal settings. Some are capable to do it also but you have to switch it by hand if the option is there build in. And yes there are still items which should follow the theme. They are introduced slowly. The latest one was that copy file windows. It's now dark also. But WIN-R not. Annoying. There is ViVeTools. But it's depending on the build version if an option is there or has been removed. Those options are inside in a build update and will change from time to time.

Is there a reason for not updating your LTSC? The whole purpose of LTSC is to get updates as long as possible. (give and take 10 years) Longer than a non-LTSC version would. It is these same as installing Win 11 24H2 and permanently shutdown any means of updating your version. You will forever sitting on the same version also. So there is no need to install LTSC if you are not updating your Windows.

LTSC means Long-Term Servicing Channel and not Life-Time Servicing Channel.....
