How to make the the title bar not too dark

[Specifix5]

So instead of 0,0,0 i want it to be something like 20,20,20 argb, any way to do this?

I want it to give a feeling so it matches with the color scheme

Hello @Specifix5, great question.

• Windows 10: not possible; the only options are black or white.
• Windows 11: should be possible to set a custom color using DWMWA_CAPTION_COLOR. Currently there is some ongoing discussion about which API methods to use and how they are documented. I was waiting for a resolution to that issue before figuring out how to port the functionality to DarkNet.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'm gonna look forward to that.

Are there any updates on the colors by any chance?

Thanks for the reminder, let me see if I can figure out how to do this.

Seems to work so far.

You can try out DarkNet.zip\DarkNet.2.3.0.nupkg\lib\*\DarkNet.dll from CI build 25. The documentation has been updated too.

Added optional ThemeOptions parameter to methods:

DarkNet.Instance.SetWindowThemeWpf(this, Theme.Dark, new ThemeOptions {
    TitleBarTextColor       = Color.MidnightBlue,
    TitleBarBackgroundColor = Color.PowderBlue,
    WindowBorderColor       = Color.DarkBlue
});

At long last, Windows 11 gives us the tools to more faithfully recreate Windows 3.1's Hotdog Stand color scheme.

Now we're gaming.
