Option to change PowerToys accent color #25668

Open PesBandi opened 1 year ago

PesBandi commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Make it possible to change the accent color of the PowerToys UI. I know #23824 mentions accent color, but I don't think that's what the writer meant, that's why I opened this issue.

Scenario when this would be used?

For more customization.

Supporting information

It is already possible to change the accent color by changing it for the whole OS in Windows Settings. Please make it possible to change it just for PowerToys.

would love to better understand why just powertoys.

I completely understand, but you can also say that about the light/dark app theme option.

I doubt we'd directly add this in with some of the other work we're planning if someone would want to build it out, i wouldn't be opposed.

Lot of different code bases to touch however.
