You run into many complications with icons, lists, and so much more. It's not just "inverting the colorspace" as so many people think - that is for sure. In the case of FileZilla, I understand that because it uses wxWidgets for many things - dark mode would have to be incorporated in to the resources pulled in for a theme and so on. I don't have C/C++ background so I can't contribute directly to FileZilla source but will help anywhere I can be useful. I don't know if any of this helps on the technical side, but I can point direction in origin C code I used for detection if interested. I used a default "light" palette and default "dark" palette and hard-coded the retrieval from the Win API since Windows doesn't use anything more complicated at this point. As you noted, the rest of the color choice was removed from Windows itself. Windows new color scheme is nothing more than grayscale - with the curve "reversed" when changing from light to dark mode, and uses a single "highlight" color for anything of note.
I have written "dark mode" detection for Windows API via c# - based on a model found for C.
