MT5 - File Where UI Colors Are Set (Windows)

 

Does anyone know which file needs to be edited in order to change the colors of the UI?  (The actual UI, not just the charts)  I've searched online for a dark theme for MT5, but haven't found any viable solutions.  I was a software developer in a previous life, so I'm curious to see if I can just do it myself.  lol

Thank you.

The application does not offer user customisable UI. Hence there are no colour settings saved in some configuration file. They are "baked" or hard-coded in the application.
