MacOs Xamarin app : how to test if dark mode used?

GT85

Hello.
I'm writing a MacOs application with Xamarin, C# and Visual Studio Community. How can I test if the application is executed in dark mode (Mojave) or not?
Thanks,
Gilbert

There is a number of documentation resources from Apple that may be of help:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/supporting_dark_mode_in_your_interface?language=objc

And a number of Stack Overflow questions as well:

Often you'll need to convert objective-c stack overflow / tutorials / apple documentation to C# and this documentation will help:
