It's been in the Store for a while now...

Oh? I didn't know
I guess I missed your online keynote announcing it?

LOOL :)

My secretary forgot to send you the invite, I'll have to spank her..

BTW.. I haven't yet tested the new Store app on Win 10 and if Win32 apps like this one installs correctly...

Just installed from the store


Time for me to rate and review, specially because you credited me
And to make sure this thread has a link so people know where to go for help and recommendations, and not just your GitHub site.

You might want to add some more infos in the description so people understand what it really does:

1. It doesn't control colors on the whole system when used in Aero mode, it's just a visual representation of the registry values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors so for example window background color for file explorer, control panel, and Windows Tools are sadly unaffected.

2. If you are creating a High contrast theme, S.M.A.C.C really shines, as you can set just about anything.

3 You need to be careful about color choices, as some Windows elements share the same registry keys, although it makes no sense why, but it can cause some items in Windows to look off, but they are controlled by the elements .dll's and changing those is useless, because after an update/upgrade or running sfc/scannow will be changed back to their defaults(the .dll I mean).

So I posted a 1000 character "essay"

That's awesome Cliff... Great "essay" - Gold star for you

This is the stuff that makes us "mere mortals" just gaze in amazement... You really should own this thread!

Windows 11 microsoft store preview, as it isn't a UWP app, but a system32(? I think) and uses an .msi(microsoft installer) and installs it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Superfly-Inc. Windows 11 can use all kinds of installer in the store now.

And there isn't a share button yet.
