DWMNCRENDERINGPOLICY ncrp = DWMNCRP_ENABLED;
DwmSetWindowAttribute(hWnd, DWMWA_NCRENDERING_POLICY, &ncrp, sizeof(ncrp));
//it doesn't seem to work

dllcall( _
'dwmapi.dll', _
'long', 'DwmSetWindowAttribute', _
'hwnd', $hwnd, _
'dword', 20, _
'dword*', True, _
'dword', 4 _
)

Re: Dark Mode ]vs[ "Low contrast" custom color scheme

Post by Лестер Глючный »

Just switch to "(true) low contrast" mode, save Custom.theme file, then… edit [Control Panel\Colors] section in that file ⇄ "RUN" this modified color scheme instead…

P.S. somehow I've broken HighLight "plug-in" colors, because I don't know how to make them FOLLOW to SYSTEM COLOR SCHEME constants (COLOR_WINDOW+COLOR_WINDOWTEXT, COLOR_HIGHLIGHT+COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT, COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION+COLOR_ACTIVECAPTIONTEXT etc.)…

The same topic was created in "Discussion (Russian)" subforum: viewtopic.php?p=36972
P.S. look at the "attached" image (for firefox: just select entire text inside the img tag then drag'n'drop it to url-bar — Toolbar has dark color (not black)

I tryed windhawk + dark-menus mods and it apply dark mode except for ContextMenu plugin, ToolBar plugin and Tabs.
I don't like the high contrast theme solution.
