MAUI theming uses AppThemeBinding and ResourceDictionary to switch between light and dark modes. You define separate color resources for each theme and apply them via DynamicResource to ensure the UI updates automatically when the operating system theme changes.

Yes, MAUI theming supports runtime theme switching across iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. By swapping ResourceDictionary objects at runtime and using DynamicResource values, the UI adapts dynamically to user preferences and system theme detection across all supported platforms.

AppThemeBinding automatically switches UI assets based on the operating system's current light or dark mode. ResourceDictionary theming allows you to define multiple custom themes and manually swap dictionaries at runtime, offering more control for user-selectable theme options beyond system defaults.

To detect OS theme changes and update UI dynamically in MAUI, you use DynamicResource markup in XAML linked to theme-specific resources. This ensures the application UI stays in sync with system theme detection and applies runtime switching without requiring app restarts.

Yes, DynamicResource supports custom MAUI themes beyond standard light and dark mode. By structuring multiple themes as separate ResourceDictionary files, you can swap them at runtime to apply distinct custom color schemes and styles dynamically across your cross-platform application.
