Windows 11 Accent Colors for Themes #13

Closed hl2guide closed 2 months ago

hl2guide commented 2 months ago

Please consider adding Windows 11 Accent Colors to the Themes in Hourglass.

e.g.

colors

may be a "use Windows accent color" option would be nice too.

@hl2guide Could you elaborate how it should work?

hl2guide commented 2 months ago

The default colors that Hourglass uses for progress bars don't match Windows 11 colors.

I would set the program to use the exact same themes as it currently has, and then if the PC is running Windows 11 it readjusts the progress bar color to suit Windows 11 colors (palette above).

@hl2guide Implemented in 1.15.34.

Accent theme is a default one from now on if no theme was previously selected. When used on another Windows, that Windows accent color will be used.
Dynamic update of Windows accent color is not and won't be supported (you need to restart Hourglass after changing Window accent color).
New user theme based on accent color will use exact color value, thus on another Windows system accent color won't be applied.
