Change system colors (W8+)

[WojTec]

This:

Delphi-Quellcode:

DwmGetColorizationParameters(Params);
Params.nIntensity := 70;
Params.clrColor := SwapRB(AColor);
DwmSetColorizationParameters(@Params, BOOL(0));

can change windows borders and taskbar color on W7 (Aero), but on W10 (W8 not tested) changing only windows borders outline (titlebar and taskbar colors not changed). How to on W8+ change these colors?

That "DwmSetColorizationParameters" was an undocumented function which was never intended for public use. Things like this regularly stop to be supported without public notice.

For me, it works changing the "AccentColor" key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM and broadcasting a WM_DWMCOLORIZATIONCOLORCHANGED message afterwards

Nevertheless, I would hate an application for changing my personal settings. I'm sure you know this and have a good reason for messing the the users personalization settings ;-)

Hmm, it changing titlebars only, taskbar and startmenu stay in current color, in personalize -> color also is old color :(
