Exactly, not loading the whole file into memory works well only for hex editors.

Yep. BitBlt originally used complex 16-bit "operation codes" that store the binary operations in reverse Polish notation. Then, they added "operation index" that stores the same information in a byte, like in Amiga, whic

If there is no application manifest, you will get Windows NT4 / Windows 9x style buttons. Just tested this on Windows 11.

booking.com natively supports this "email is authentication" pattern, so you even don't have to change your password and come up with a throw-away password. They just send you a link by email, you click the link, and you are

No, they won't get dark mode and this is the biggest problem for Win32 UIs now. If Microsoft would make dark mode available for classic Win32 apps, it would meet all requirements of the original poster.

My app is around 500 KB (not megabytes) and it supports dark mode (see https://www.abareplace.com/ ). So this is definitely possible without using Electron or bloated GUI libraries.

Thank you. Unfortunately, my experience is the same: it's hard to promote a software project on today's Internet without investing a lot of money or spending 4 hours/day on social media like the original poster did. There are
