Would be neat to see an option to pick different accent color for Dark and Light mode #51

That's more of a nice addition.
For example, more washed light pastel like accent like accent colors looks more distinct on Dark themes (Like in Material Design 2 (Android)) and vice versa.
Hope it can be implemented.
P.S. App is working great on 1903.

I agree. I was just about to make my own issue before this.

I literally just came here to suggest this (also inspired by Material.io's Dark Theme guidelines).

I'm not entirely sure if there's a way to do it, though. I haven't had any success changing the relevant registry keys manually myself.

EDIT: It half works. The taskbar seems to update immediately, but Start, taskbar flyouts, and other apps don't reflect the change until they're restarted. The system Settings app must have access to an API I don't know about.

Sample powershell code:

$value = Get-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\ 

Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\ -Name AccentColorMenu -Value $value.AccentColorMenu
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\ -Name AccentPalette -Value $value.AccentPalette
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent\ -Name StartColorMenu -Value $value.StartColorMenu
