AccentColor on windows' border (Windows) #212435

Open luc0x61 opened 3 weeks ago

luc0x61 commented 3 weeks ago

Windows applications can have colored thin borders (useful to spot borders when using a dark theme). This can be found in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM as "AccentColor" and "AccentColorInactive".

Unfortunately, this isn't used by VS Code, which defaults to a very dark/dim border (with a dark theme), resulting in barely visible to my defective sight: could it be activated as a feature?

Since users can turn toggle "Show accent color on title bars and windows borders" in Window's Settings -> Personalization -> Colors page, and will likely already have the option set to what they prefer, it's probably worth honoring user's personalization wishes.
