[gamergames]

is there a way to check the background color of the gui title bar? how about the text color of the titlebar?

This may not be the definitive approach, but it will get you the info.

To get the default active title bar color (must be later Windows version than XP):

Code: Select all

SetFormat, Integer, Hex
RegRead, BgCol, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, AccentColor
MsgBox, %BgCol%

The first two digits of the hex code are the transparency level (FF = fully opaque, 00 = fully transparent). The remaining 6 digits are the color in BGR format.

If you need to know the actual title bar color of a particular window, you could use PixelGetColor.

The text color is something that is something that is not stored in the registry since Windows changes it depending on background (may be white, black, grey). You could use PixelGetColor to try to get the text color, but due to anti-aliasing, it would not be easy to determine the base color.

You can use RegWrite to change that value directly. Be careful when writing scripts that change the registry, though.
