Windows theme is the default theme now. It can be customised in Preferences > Themes. There you can change back to what used to be Mac theme (now called Minimal), or customise the layout and make your own version.

There are certainly good reasons for wanting to change the current theme programmatically. E.g. an automated test tool may need to switch between various themes to make sure the application works correctly with all of them.
As a user, you can change the theme by double-clicking a .theme file in Windwos Explorer and then closing the Control Panel applet that pops up. You can easily do the same from code. The steps below work just fine for me. I've only tested on Windows 7.
I have been experimenting about changing the windows theme via command line and I learned that by executing the theme file it is being applied by the Windows 10 as well. So in your batch file, you could use one of the following lines:
Please note the path to the theme files might be needed to adjust depending on your system user configuration. I strongly advise saving your themes with names excluding spaces as it makes much easier moving forward. Executing such line leaving you with the Settings window opened. To deal with I considered using VBS script instead. Thanks to Patrick Haugh user1390106 there is a much easier way to close the Settings window.
I believe the best you can do is open your target .msstyles file (in c:\windows\resources\themes), which will pop up the display properties box. At this point you could use window subclassing to programmatically click the right buttons.
In addition of the post of "Jan Goyvaerts":I use SendMessage instead of PostMessage. The difference is that SendMessage waits for the command to be taken in by the window. Meaning that in the SendMessages returns, you know that the theme dialog is closed.
So if you start it with the monstrous (but genious) rundll32.exe method suggested by "Campbell". You should wait a sec before sending WM_CLOSE. Otherwise the theme will not be set and the application closes right away.
The code snippet below extracts a file from resource (a themepack). Then executes the desk.cpl with rundll32.exe, waits 3 sceonds, then sends WM_CLOSE (0x0010), waits for the command to be process (the time it takes for the theme to be set).
For a user that logs in, we simply run ChangeTheme.vbs as the user logs in (e.g. autorun). The script starts desk.cpl and passes the required parameters to it as well as the name of the selected theme.
Since you can execute theme files, you can add the file to run at startup in the registry or also by adding it to the startup folder I think. I have my theme in a read-only folder on the network and added a startup key on the machine. One drawback of using a startup key is that if you look at the startup list in task manager it shows up as "Program" and if there is more than one you can't tell which is which.
The problem with applying a theme to an existing user profile is that the registry key for setting the theme is per user. There is no computer level theme setting as far as I can tell. The user level setting is set with CurrentTheme under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes. Changing the path doesn't seem to change the theme though.
I never found a better solution so I'm using the GPO to apply theme to new user sign-in. For some reason it is not applying all of the settings included in the theme. The slideshow duration is set to 6 hours but new users are set for 30 minutes. I may just add running the theme file to a new user setup script we have and apply it manually for good measure. Another option is a login script you can apply to all users for a time then remove. Or add a logon script to change a system variable when it's applied or check the registry to see if it's applied. There are lots of hacky solutions but nothing provided by Microsoft for existing users unfortunately.
I have a high contrast theme in Windows 10. White text, gray background. Pretty much identical to the screenshot that Hunam posted. Windows 10 theme management is trash, but the high contrast setting is mandatory for certain window elements to have custom colors.
The fact that it overrides colors in web browsers is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. Websites are designed with specific color themes to give their own contrast to different elements on the page (borders, links, buttons, interactive elements, mouseover highlights, text boxes, etc).
Some folks, including me, followed a performance tweak and were stuck with the Windows 7 toolbar being a white (Windows Classic). Altering the theme did not correct this. It turned out the Themes service was not automatic.
By definition each theme has a default color for various types of selected text, change and save theme as a modified version. Ex solarized theme_ white editor or whatever you want to save your personal preferences and import into any project you would like to use that theme variance/modification
After doing all that, when you change the theme from your customized Solarized Dark to Dark Mode, and then change back later to your saved & imported customized Solarized Dark, your settings will be intact.
Contrast themes use a small palette of colors (with a contrast ratio of at least 7:1) to help make elements in the UI easier to see, reduce eye strain, improve text readability, and accommodate user preferences.
Don't confuse contrast themes with light and dark themes, which support a much larger color palette and don't necessarily increase contrast or make things easier to see. For more on light and dark themes, see Color.
You can also press the left-Alt key + Shift key + Print screen (PrtScn on some keyboards) to quickly turn contrast themes on or off. If you have not selected a theme previously, the Aquatic theme is used by default (shown in the following image).
You can programmatically check if the current theme is a contrast theme through the AccessibilitySettings class (you must call the AccessibilitySettings constructor from a scope where the app is initialized and is already displaying content).
A ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries object can indicate theme colors that are different from the system-defined colors by specifying brushes for the Default (Dark), Light, and HighContrast contrast themes.
On the Settings > Ease of access > Contrast themes page (shown in the following image), users can select from four default contrast themes: Aquatic, Desert, Dusk, and Night sky.
This table shows the contrast theme colors and their recommended pairings. Each SystemColor resource is a variable that automatically updates the color when the user switches contrast themes.
We use {ThemeResource} twice in the preceding example, once to reference SystemColorWindowColor and again to reference BrandedPageBackgroundBrush. Both are required for your app to theme correctly at run time. This is a good time to test out the functionality in your app. The Grid background will automatically update as you switch to a high contrast theme. It will also update when switching between different high contrast themes.
Platform controls provide built-in support for contrast themes, but you should be careful when customizing your application UI. Two of the most common issues occur when either the color of an element is hard-coded or an incorrect SystemColor resource is used.
In the following code snippet, we show a Grid element declared with a background color set to #E6E6E6 (a very light grey). If you hard-code the color in this way, you also override the background color across all themes. For example, if the user selects the Aquatic contrast theme, instead of white text on a near black background, the text color in this app changes to white while the background remains light grey. The very low contrast between text and background could make this app very difficult to use.
Instead, we recommend using the {ThemeResource} markup extension to reference a color in the ThemeDictionaries collection of a ResourceDictionary. This enables the automatic substitution of colors and brushes based on the user's current theme.
Pages, panes, popups, and bars should all use SystemColorWindowColor for their background. Add a contrast theme-only border only where necessary to preserve important boundaries in your UI.
In contrast themes, items in a ListView have their background set to SystemColorHighlightColor when the user hovers over, presses, or selects them. A common issue with complex list items occurs when the content of the list item fails to invert its color, making the items impossible to read.
Out of hate for modern zoomed in interfaces mostly and Obsidian also felt artificially slow. I learned Obsidian could be themed to anything. 98-XP had most straight forward UX where buttons do look like buttons. Now days everything is a BIG ICON.
So thats why i made this
Just wanted to say this is a very usable theme. Most other themes blur the line between the UI and the content.
This theme is the only one so far that makes the distinction very clear.
I encourage people to try it as their daily (despite how jarring it initially looks). 0852c4b9a8
