Previous History
(150 DownLoads ... Thanks! ) Version 1.2021.10.31
Unified mouse scroll down action as the method to select Time, Date, Weather and Media formats
Expanded time/date formats:
locale-time, locale-date, 12/24 hour (with or without seconds), m/d/y, or d/m/y (scroll down on date or time to set)
Expanded weather to include hybrid style (scroll down on access bar weather to set)
Due to my setting variables values, rather than using direct Chameleon measure values, it is necessary to change your wallpaper after first loading the skin to activate new colors.
Nearly ready for DA release... Happy Halloween!

What am I doing wrong? I installed your collection and loaded the Chameleon variant but I still get a blue background to the top bar (see attached). And yes I did select "Automatically pick an accent color from my background in the 'Windows|Personalization|Colors' settings menu (Win 10).

My own skins on the right seem to get the correct set of colours from Chameleon (see above) so what is going on?

Hmm.. Not sure why it is not responding. It should detect when you change wallpapers.
