Quick hotfix release: accent color now matches the Windows accent exactly in both automatic and custom modes (byte-order decode fix), and the pinned bookmark icon renders as a vibrant solid accent fill.

Issues (checklist — completes step 2)

  • Wrong accent color shown when accent set to Automatic → fixed: accent DWORDs decoded as RGBA (was ABGR — swapped red/blue into a complementary hue); primary source is Explorer\Accent\StartColorMenu, which tracks both custom picks and auto-derived accents
  • Accent color looked dull on pinned bookmark icon → fixed: icon is now a solid accent fill instead of a thin 1.5px stroked outline

Changelog (3 commits since v2.14.1)

Bug Fixes

  • Accent color mismatch: registry accent DWORDs (AccentColor, StartColorMenu) are stored in RGBA byte order; the old ABGR decode swapped red/blue and rendered the complementary hue (e.g. orange for a blue accent). Decode corrected, verified against the AccentPalette ramp and DwmGetColorizationColor readings.
  • Accent detection source: accent now reads from Explorer\Accent\StartColorMenu (always live — custom picks and automatic/wallpaper-derived accents), falling back to the DWM AccentColor value, then DwmGetColorizationColor. Diagnostic log line added ([nex] accent detect: ...).

Features

  • Pinned bookmark icon: solid accent-colored fill (was a thin stroked outline that read muted on the dark surface).
