Change color slider control on win 10 [SOLVED]

[nend]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the color of a slider control?

In my windows (wndows 10) it's blue (see the screenshot) and that's the thing I want to be a different color.

I'v try'd it with serveral options such as:

- GUICtrlSetColor

- GUICtrlSetBkColor

 

But no changes in color.

Does anyone has any idea?

 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()

    GUICreate("slider", 220, 100, 100, 200)

    Local $idSlider1 = GUICtrlCreateSlider(10, 10, 200, 40)
    GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0x808080)
    GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 200, 0) ; change min/max value
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Value?", 75, 70, 70, 20)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    GUICtrlSetData($idSlider1, 45) ; set cursor

    Local $idMsg
    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
        $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $idMsg = $idButton Then
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "slider1", GUICtrlRead($idSlider1), 2)
        EndIf
    Until $idMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc   ;==>Example

No clue, but I did come across this as a potential alternative.  Might be worth checking out as an interim if customizing the slider appearance is essential.  
Of course someone else may chime in with a method to actually color the standard control.....

You might try this, it works in Win7 not sure about 10?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Global Const $WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC = 0x0138

Example()

Func Example()
    global $iBursh = DllCall("gdi32.dll","hwnd","CreateSolidBrush","dword",0x808080)
    GUICreate("slider", 220, 100, 100, 200)

    Local $idSlider1 = GUICtrlCreateSlider(10, 10, 200, 40)
    ;GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0x808080)
    GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 200, 0) ; change min/max value
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Value?", 75, 70, 70, 20)
    GUICtrlSetData($idSlider1, 45) ; set cursor
    GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC,"WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC")
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    Local $idMsg
    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
        $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $idMsg = $idButton Then
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "slider1", GUICtrlRead($idSlider1), 2)
        EndIf
    Until $idMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Func WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC($hWin,$uMsg,$wParam,$lParam)
        return $iBursh[0]
EndFunc

        return $iBursh[0]
EndFunc

 

I've tryd this but only the background get painted on windows 10.

I don't think this is possible.
