ToggleWindows10DefaultAppMode()

Not sure if anyone has asked for this yet, or wanted it. But, I did, so thought I would share its surprising success.

Code: Select all

ToggleWindows10DefaultAppMode() {
	RegRead, appMode, HKCU, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize, AppsUseLightTheme
	RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize, AppsUseLightTheme, % !appMode
}

Note: you may need to add the Personalize key and the DWORD AppsUseLightTheme if you do not have them already.

Looks interesting; what does this do, exactly, in laymen's terms? I am frequently annoyed by the way Windows 10 handles choosing what programme to open which files with, so I would be interested in any options in this regard.

This switches between the dark theme and light theme. MS calls it the default app mode for some reason; not to be confused with deafult programs.
