$GUI_BKCOLOR_DEFAULT is... ?

[Achilles]

I know that the constant $GUI_BKCOLOR_DEFAULT is equal to -1. However, I want to know how to actually get what color that is.

For Vista it's 0xF0F0F0... at least for me.

For my windows classic view of Vista it's 0xD4D0C8 (the gray color)... But with that you can change the color scheme to make it whatever you want.

I need to know because I want a button on my GUI that can restore the default colors based on what the users current theme is. I've tried just using the $GUI_BKCOLOR_DEFAULT but it then just sets the color to what it currently is... which is pointless.

Any ideas?

It's probably in the registry somewhere. I would try changing the colors while having Procmon running

Just use

$COLOR_3DDKSHADOW = 15

$3D_BackgroundCol = _WinAPI_GetSysColor($COLOR_3DDKSHADOW)

Wow, I hadn't seen that... I used _WinAPI_GetSysColor($COLOR_3DFACE) instead. Thanks for pointing this function out to me.
