Caption buttons not affected by the program on CustomBlur #279

Open gingusScringus opened 4 months ago

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is:

I always avoid using the CustomBlur blur method due to the caption buttons being miscolored despite have been already set up through the program. So if i made the active text color to white, only the text becomes white and not the caption buttons (the minimize, maximize, close buttons) so it results in a white text and black caption buttons. I could change to light mode, but it just does the opposite instead, white text, white caption buttons, can't see them. This doesn't happen on OldBlur though, just the coloring for the caption button doesn't work but it is still visible when I'm on either light or dark mode.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open the program with dark mode set, go to the Advanced tab, and change the Blur Method to CustomBlur. Then go to General and set the active text color to white (255,255,255), save that and open any window that's NOT Explorer (i.e: winver, Notepad, Roblox Studio, and others).

The functionality of DwmBlurGlass does not include changing the colors of the title bar buttons, which means that OldBlur's behavior is unintended. These colors depend on whether the window is in dark mode or not, and some system applications have windows that say to DWM “Hey I'm in dark mode, please help me render the buttons white”, which includes explorer. In conclusion, this is not a bug, but a feature request.

Huh, alright, I thought that was already a feature but no I guess... I hope you guys will add this to the program because this is the one reason why I try not to use the CustomBlur method, would be a QoL change for me and some others too.

Is there a temporary way to make the caption buttons force to white though?

Hope this can be enhanced (though it was marked as non-fixable before). In File Explorer I get persistent white color of active text and minimize-maximize-close buttons both in Light and Dark mode (Windows 10, version 21H2 & DWMBlurGlass 2.2.0 with CustomBlur (IComposition)).

For the titlebar text, get the windhawk mod "fix basic caption text"

Tried using Windhawk, but I'm not sure if the Windhawk is broken or the mods were broken because they don't seem to change anything. So maybe not.

You need to exclude critical system processes from advanced settings in the app

Tried doing that, but still none. Some of the mods worked after that though. It's probably broken or conflicted with something else.
