I just installed violet verison on win 11 24h2 no issues so far and works. thanks for your work with this
made a restore point beforehand just in-case

Tested on W11 22H2, works fine, although I have a problem - "device theme" tells me I have a white theme and not a black one.

same thing on website (and probably in other apps)

It works and all but is there a way to mall system apps amoled color?

I changed to 10bpc color and noticed that the start menu is gray instead of black. In the screenshot above my post you can already see a slight difference, but for me it's even more noticeable now with 10bpc.

I had to take an actual photo to show how gray it is, because for some reason(?) it turns darker when I engage the snipping tool.

Edit: figured out why it looked a bit weird elsewhere too, this was the cause https://old.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1hexre7/why_does_enabling_10_bit_colors_wash_out_the/m288oc0/
However I'd still say the start menu is not really pure black, there's a slight difference <.<

It won't let me apply any of the Registry files

works umazing on win11 25h2

Man, I've been trying to do this on my own for a little while now.

Decoding the AccentPalette is what did the trick. This works great.

However, has anyone figured out how to change the color of the active/inactive app window?

I can't figure that one out. For example, my File Explorer window title and background are still that ugly grey.

I've tried editing DWM, Explorer/Accent, Themes/Personalize, etc. and I just cannot figure this out.

This would fully complete the pitch black look I and I'm sure everyone here, wants.

AFAIK, theres no known way to change uwp/winUI app windows which is what most default windows apps use nowadays, however you can set the colors for normal apps but im guessing you already knew that (original script does that)

Closest thing i have gotten to changing uwp/winUI app titles is to use a high contrast theme but these change alot more than desired (such as adding thick borders and changing styles of ui elements in general)

(also if you are gonna try mess with high contrast themes you might wanna backup your current values, im not sure if it will revert any changes this script makes)
