I love the functionality and layout of the Windows 7 flyouts (Clock, Volume Mixer etc.), but the white backgrounds are quite jarring on a dark theme. I just wondered if there is any way to get the Windows 7 flyouts to have a darker background that better fits with dark mode? |

That was before dark mode was a feature in windows, so probably not. |

It is possible to achieve a true dark theme using a third-party visual style. |

If you can find the way to do that, please post it then. |

Using a third party theme and patching through ultrauxtheme can solve this. However, be aware that how well the win 7 flyouts take to dark mode will depend on the particular theme you are using.
For example:
My current theme does the mixer fine but the clock is a fail.
That said, I have used themes that will happily deal with both.
