It would be nice if the application had a dark UI theme available. While I know the editor colors and chart theme can be set, it would be nice if the app, overall, had a dark theme.

i would love this also. I've been working on a private extension to achieve it, but have run into some issues (images/icons, vaious control elements). I've got something that is "workable for now" but have invested all the time I can justify at this point. 
Does the solution work with extension child windows too? It's easy enough to "reverse" an Image using GDI. That could work for the icons.
@Glitch, yes, it does work for Child windows and also indicator settings popups. But, as is, it's not an ideal solution. At present I'm only changing colours of background and foreground properties (as a test). From what I know of WPF it would be best as style templates - or perhaps hooking into the windows theme .
My goal here was "quick and nasty prototype" just to see if it was possible (I have uveitis so my eyes are very sensitive to the lighter on screen colours.)
Unfortuantely, with the way I've coded this it relies on a timer that overrides the default colours for any new controls (forms, tabs, listboxes, etc). An event trigger would be better, but style overrides would be best (I think).

After a few hours of thought and POC work we decided to decline "theme" or "skin" development until we do the next major overhaul, WL8, some time in the future. It's just too much tedious work at this point to prefect UI themes, considering all of the icons in use, HTML renderers, Teechart colors, etc. I did find a resource that does much of the heavy lifting so we'll have a good jump start when we eventually tackle this.
