- [Several additional improvements to renderer, async, and state management](#additional-improvements)

Dark mode is officially out of experimental status and can be used without special configuration. Keep in mind that the dark mode renderer relies on underlying Win32 controls, and while we anticipate improvements, dark mode support will evolve over time. Please refer to our updated docs for the latest scope and details.

While the `ControlStyles` enum element `ApplyThemingImplicitly` isn’t new, it now has a more precise application for opting in or out of dark mode themin: It’s crucial to set this enum flag in a derived control in `CreateParams` _before_ calling the base method. Due to the original WinForms design, `CreateParams` runs before derived class constructors, and this order can be a common pitfall if not highlighted. We've updated the docs with this note, and it’s important for developers inheriting controls to follow this guidance, if they want their control to opt in or out implicit theming handling.
