Can a Theme be controlled or activated through Rainmeter?

Post by Mor3bane »

So the title states the question.

Can a particular win 10 theme be toggled via mouse click - if possible what would that code look like?

Thanks.

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Installed Themes are saved in the hidden folder "AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes". Activate by executing the desired theme file:

LeftMouseUpAction=["C:\Users\{yourusername}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\aerolite.theme"]

Note: This will apply the theme AND open the Theme Settings dialog.
