The registry value has been successfully read Local ret, x = gh_utils.win_registry_read_value_dword("HKEY_CURRENT_USER", "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Themes\\Personalize", "AppsUseLightTheme") Here is a function in Lua that does the job:
With GeeXLab it’s easy to read the AppsUseLightTheme value. If AppsUseLightTheme is equal to 0, the light theme is disabled which means the dark theme is enabled! If AppsUseLightTheme is equal to 1, the regular light theme is enabled. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize\AppsUseLightThemeĪppsUseLightTheme is a REG_DWORD value. The registry value that controls the dark theme is: gh_utils.win_registry_write_value_string.gh_utils.win_registry_read_value_string.gh_utils.win_registry_write_value_dword.Several functions (in Lua and Python) have been added in recent versions of GeeXLab to play with Windows registry: And the nice thing with the registry technique, is that your version of Windows 10 doesn’t need to be activated… The dark theme can be enabled or disabled from Windows Settings, but and that’s the interesting point, it can be turned ON/OFF via the registry.
Utility because this small application allows to quickly enable or disable the dark theme for applications like the File Explorer, a feature introduced in Windows 10 version 1809 and higher. The Windows 10 Dark Theme Switch is an utility and a demo at the same time.
