Microsoft Office apps like word, excel etc supports dark theme but need to enable manually. Foxit, Adobe pdf readers, and some more popular apps for windows 10 now support dark theme but need to manually enable the dark theme. Is there any possible way to force these app to automatically switch to dark theme based on windows default theme.

@floppypoppy I researched about changing Office theme but Microsoft is not letting external modifications of the theme. There is a registry property for the Office selected theme but it gets reset each time the user opens an Office app. Unless Microsoft decides to change that I cannot do anything, or there is some other way that I am not aware of?

For the rest of the apps I was thinking to execute custom user-defined scripts and in those you can write code that manipulate apps. Each app is different and tackles night mode differently, so an universal solution built-in the app is not maintainable.
