Command line parameters.
Hi, is it possible to add command line parameters to start the program in custom scripts? Application example: change theme to Auto Dark Mode in personal script.
well, so far the intended way to accomplish that was to simply write your own program based on snippets from here. what do you think would be a good set of arguments to have?
I'll give you an example: uxtheme.exe "C:\path\theme.msstyle" -b(ignore background) -c(ignore cursor) -s(ignore sound) etc. Default: don't ignore anything. Very simple but effective, what do you think?
I can't set msstyles, only themes. I also only know their display name, which may also change per locale. The rest of the functions are unstable across versions. I could also potentially use this function to set a theme by path, but i never tried that
Even "C:\path\theme.theme" is fit for purpose. In fact, it's actually better because it's more complete.
This will not be implemented, I opted to go with a library and C FFI interface. You can track that issue at #120. You will be able to implement the command line interface of your choice on top of that.
I was writing my own AutoDarkMode script when I stumbled upon this. A shame it won't be implemented. I suppose ADM will have to import or invoke more of SecureUxTheme to support truly dark themes.
With the C interface you can just write a PowerShell script with whatever CLI you want. PS has been a part of Windows since Windows 7, therefore available everywhere where SecureUxTheme is.
