Greetings!
I was thinking if there is a possibility to control the Windows 10 wallpaper- solid color's color somehow?
Probably there is a slight impact on performance/resources if the default windows's solid color is used instead of a png or jpg.
I don't know if that part is even accessible with any external commands out of Windows.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Re: Windows background solid color control
Wow, you are a legend to take all those effort!
I really appreciate your help! Sadly it's not working. I guess as i saw, it would changes registry which probably encountering some conflict of permissions.

Yes you are right, it was not working. Would you try now?rbriddickk84 wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 2:15 pm Wow, you are a legend to take all those effort!

The problem was due to cmd line of code.
I had to get help from an extra exe file.
The colors must be specified as hex triplets.(i.e 00FF00)
When you click on the text, InputText will open.
After entering the color of Task/StartMenu, press ENTER.
Enter the Window Border color in the other InputText.
PS: I didn't have much chance to edit the skin, sorry.

Re: Windows background solid color control
Okay, i just checked out the registry entries, and your second idea worked, the Background key changed, tho the background color in windows isn't changes.
PS.: Running the exe externally it changes the taskbar and start menu colors. But not the background color.
PS #2.: I just analized the first codes what you sent, and now i see how you tried the trick it should work tho
Which skin?

Re: Windows background solid color control
You are right. I couldn't.rbriddickk84 wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 4:16 pm Hmm. Despite the fact that sadly still nothing happening, it produces strange things in text terms on the skin itself.
No colors are changing sadly nowhere. But really, thank you for your great efforts, i know and i start to realize that this is a much bigger challenge then i thought.
I made a mistake in the command line.
I cannot send the entered variable on the command line. Maybe someone can fix this. sorry
Normally:
Parameter=""#CURRENTPATH#ColorControl.exe" -accent_color FF00F0 -dwm_color 131000"
My code:
Parameter=""#CURRENTPATH#ColorControl.exe" -accent_color #AccentColor# -dwm_color #DWMColor#"
I used this application to change colors on the command line or in Registery.rbriddickk84 wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 4:16 pm Isn't it changes only the window borders? Honestly i am a bit confused about that exe.
It seems like it doesn't work very well

Re: Windows background solid color control
Ooof, sorry, i edited my response so many times xD
I just realized that it DOES change the value of the Background reg key, but the color isn't changing in windows weirdly.
So actually your idea sort of worked.

Re: Windows background solid color control
Yet again, much appreciation for your kind devoted help!
Now i know that in my Windows probably will be something strange, since the registry key changes.
I will post here if i find out what's wrong!
Thank you!
