Describe the enhancement or feature you'd like

Ability to add accent colour to taskbar in light mode, like shown in this tutorial https://www.askvg.com/tip-enable-accent-color-on-start-and-taskbar-in-light-theme-mode-in-windows-11-10/

Currently the auto night mode service resets this registry key to 0 when it starts, is there any way to keep this function?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hey!

Windows actually considers this behavior correct. When you navigate to the control panel and try to enable color prevalence for the taskbar in light mode, it's greyed out.

In Windows 10, enabling this setting caused the taskbar to become illegible under certain conditions, which is why we have opted to replicate the native behavior.

I've seen that in Win11 it looks better, but if people use a taskbar extension like StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher which brings back the old taskbar the issue returns.

Therefore I'm not sure if we'll implement this at present, but we'll keep this issue open for future reference.
