The dark theme for your app is nice I think, but maybe its easier to depend on an external project instead of maintaining styles yourself?

See https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro or https://github.com/ChristianIvicevic/ModernChrome

Thank you for your comment. I really appropriate it and the links do seem they could be useful for my projects.

As you can see I am still a newbie in areas related to WPF/XAML and really had no idea how complicated it would be to just try to have a black/dark background using standard WPF controls when I started the project. At first, it seemed so easy to just set Background="black" but that just solved a small part so I ended up inserting UI style code fragments from the Internet like some Frankenstein thing. My main focus is usually outside the UI area being able to reduce the UI effort with the help of these libraries would be nice.

These links you mentioned might come in handy. Thanks again, Michael
