Hey,
Wondering how I can disable the Win10 Widgets from picking up the accent color from my Windows theme settings? You can see from the link below the gray theme is being applied to the date in the clock and the contrast sucks with my wallpaper. Is there a way to disable/theme my own color values to those areas of the widget?

Thanks!

Open the skin in your text editor
Find the line @Include1=#@#systemColors.ini in the [Variables] section
Add a semicolon ; as the first character ; @Include1=#@#systemColors.ini
Save the file and refresh the skin
This will remove Windows colors from that skin.

Re: Disable Windows 10 Accent Color?
Sorry, one other question! Doing that I got the date to show up as white, so I can see it now ...but my question...is there a way to change it to another colour? Like being able to add my own HEX or RGB values? I feel this might be more complicated.
Thanks in advance.

So you don't affect other Win10Widget skin styles, it would be best to just modify the "DateTime" skin size you want to use by adding a line that will override the Font Color defined in the "styles.ini".
In the DateTime skin you want to use, look for all meter sections that have a "MeterStyle=" of any of the following:
StyleBigText, StyleMediumText, StyleSmallText, or StyleTinyText.
Add the line FontColor={Hex_or_RGBcode} to every section that has one of those styles. That will override the Font Color defined in the included style and use your color.
