sseedit still has problems with context menus creation kit platform extended now wont enable darkmode altogether Im not sure why we cant exclude programs ourselves

For SSEEDIT there is a white outline in the right click menu when using this theme. For Creation Kit platform extended you can see in the screenshots I sent what happens when enabling dark mode. Notice the status bar at the bottom as well turns white when using dark magic. To get this dark theme to work you need to download skyrim creation kit along with the Creation Kit Platform Extended. To enable the dark theme you need to open CreationKitPlatformExtended.ini and set uUIDarkThemeId=1 As for programs on my work laptop programs where made to operate high tech machinery that copys UI elements from the luna theme from windows xp and somehow integrates windows aero theme as well. It already looks bad without dark magic but looks super messed up with dark magic enabled. Text, highlight boxes, submenus have dark outlines and scrollbars are sometimes inverted even though it uses the scroll bars from the luna theme. I am not sure it is possible to get dark magic to work with every program especially when there are programs that use the windows themes in archaic ways.

Dark magic disabled: Dark magic enabled: There are also many programs on my work labtop that get messed up with dark magic automatically applying to them with no way to disable per program or enable only to selected programs. I cannot share these programs because they are made by the company and would leak trade secrets.

Many programs created for skyrim modding has a built in dark mode that conflicts with dark magic. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71371?tab=description Also maybe in the future a menu option to disable certain features of dark magic system wide and an excluded program list you can select/type executables into? Or have dark magic disabled system wide and only enabled by selecting a program you want it to run in?

How to disable dark magic for a particular program?

Is there a way to toggle this in the registry?

Dark magic cuts into the window a little bit: With dark magic: Without dark magic:

Dark magic is truly great. Better if you take your time. ^^

How does this style altering work? It does not need a theme patcher to work I just have not seen anything like it before. I wonder if there could be a way to open up the program to let users apply their own themes this way? Like rectify 11 needs to run the theme patcher every windows update, SAB does not.

It looks like the latest update will not let me use a custom .msstyles with SAB without it messing with the custom .msstyles edits SAB makes. @Tihiyhave you gotten the chance to look at my edits yet for possible implementation? aero.msstyles edits.zip

It looks like all msstyles edits were removed with the latest update of StartAllBack?

Dark Magic causes right chick menu in Details section of Task Manager to turn white:

Dark Magic causes Registry Finder scroll bars to turn white in certain windows: Program: https://registry-finder.com/

When using dark magic, any edits I make on paint.net the image is washed out any time a dialogue box pops up: Is there any way to disable this?

For StartAllBack, could we get an option to edit whatever .msstyles SAB is applying to the whole operating system? I could not find the file.

Would much rather someone say no or thinking about it then be ignored. Then I can move on.

Is this something that can be implemented in StartAllBack?

WSB is Windows Style Builder. A program used for .msstyles editing. An example of a feature, the program lets you import and export graphics from the .msstyles files. Not required to view the edits in the ZIP file. I am not sure on the methods StartAllBack uses to edit the aero.msstyles file. I know it does some trickery because the horizontal scroll bar in dark mode no longer has the black bars bug and the drag and drop graphic is fixed to not be white. Some changes are happening and the ZIP file I shared just adds a few that were missed from startallback. I already fix these issues myself by creating a custom aero.msstyles and apply the theme after patching the system. It would be nice if I no longer had to apply these fixes because they were already included in startallback. Fell free to continue asking questions. Hopefully the zip file I shared is easy enough to understand with the .msstyles edits and how they are applied. I just wish I knew more on how you guys are doing it then I could share a better method on how to fix the bugs I am sharing.

Hello, It looks like some msstyle editing is happening with the startallback program and I would like to share some edits that have not yet been covered by startallback. Example Here are the edits, and instructions on how to apply them: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Av1dDuTYEuYRgcoOZRusHndOHQJAwg?e=8lmcET Some of the edits are already fixed using startallback in the main file explorer window. I have included them still because they are not fixed in the "Open" File Explorer Window. Let me know if the "addresses" are useless. I use WSB for my msstyle edits and I have other methods of getting addresses. Let me know if you have any questions or comments
