'Windows Color and Appearance' Editor/Replacement
« on: June 17, 2016, 04:19 PM »
I was wondering if someoone would make an editor for .theme files that would edit the [Control Panel\Colors]
section.  'Windows Color and Appearance' was removed from Windows 10/8.

The .theme file below works in Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP (not tested in Windows 8 or Vista).

Yea, that is an .msstyles file editor.
The virtualcustoms page isn't really about editing theme colors either.

I was just hoping for a GUI to edit the system colors in .theme files.
