[Dark Mode] DataGridView Dark Mode default colors look inconsistent and visually unbalanced #14266

Description

@LeafShi1

The default color scheme of DataGridView in Dark Mode exhibits significant inconsistencies and readability issues.

For example:

  • Table backgrounds are typically a mix of dark gray and white.
  • In dark themes, gridlines, row headers, and column headers lack a consistent visual appearance.
  • Checkbox backgrounds are often dark blue/black, while text is black/white, resulting in insufficient contrast.
  • Inconsistent with other WinForms controls (TreeView, ListView, PropertyGrid, etc.).
