Dark Mode PDFs for power toys' file Preview Pane (explorer). #23232

Open bigplayer-ai opened 1 year ago

bigplayer-ai commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The preview icon/image of the file is rendered in dark mode (inverted color), this way people who use dark mode do not get their eyes blinded by the white image on the dark theme. in this picture, the left is how power toys now render the preview of the files, and on the right is how I wish power toys to render the preview of the files in dark mode. White preview PDF instead of the dark-themed preview PDF

Scenario when this would be used?

Using this feature when dark mode is used/triggered on Windows pc, especially since every company started implementing its dark mode.

Supporting information

Check Xodo PDF reader it converts white PDFs to black PDFs, I think this is easy to implement (only inverting colors after all its work).

Hm, from the top of my head, sometimes white background is still preferred for documents and/or e-mails. But if it's possible to check the Windows theme and change the colors of the previews... @Aaron-Junker thoughts?

I think if we consider making it, we should only add it as an optional setting.

Yes, I agree. Thanks for your feedback
