Windows 10 will always work when capturing individual windows regardless of theme.
Window Capture Method
Select the method used to capture individual Windows.
GDI: This will work on the vast majority of systems with the exception of Windows Store apps and browsers
such as FireFox and Chrome.
WindowsGraphicsCapture: This is available on Windows 10 1809 or higher and captures most applications
including browsers and Windows Store apps.
DWM: This is available on earlier versions of Windows 10 and Windows 7 and can capture the same
windows as GDI but with slightly lower CPU/GPU resource usage.
Desktop Capture
For Desktop Capture support in vMix, see the NDI / Desktop Capture topic.

Stream or SRT protocols.
