I tried both the launcher and normal codeblocks.exe without success.

ProDigit:
Ok, nevermind.
The code window is now having the right theme.
I redownloaded, and reinstalled it, and instead of 'custom' install, I selected 'full install'.
It still allowed me to install to D:

The only thing I like less, is that all other panels aren't changed. Just the main.cpp window.
Now also default.conf is loaded from the C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks directory

If you're talking about the theme of windows, this is not possible at the moment. There are rumors that MicroSoft would introduce the dark theme to win32 applications in the future, so there is some kind of hope...

ProDigit:
Not just borders, I mean all the other windows. The only window that has the color applied, is the code window (main.cpp).
The debugger, file tree window etc... are all still with a white background.

It is possible in other coding programs (like Visual).

They don't use win32 api to create their UI, they use toolkits which support custom themes. Changing to some other API is close to impossible at the moment.
