# High-Contrast-Theme-Creator
It makes uglies
Forum topic: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=29597
## PLEASE READ
Works with **AHK_H** (https://hotkeyit.github.io/v2/) **only** because I decided to have the tall GUI scrollable. Simple changes can be made to undo that, but I'm not going to.
------
## HOW TO USE
### [DOWNLOAD](https://github.com/acorns/High-Contrast-Theme-Creator/archive/master.zip)
**Theme10.ahk** - Run this. This is the main file
**TestGUI.ahk** - When a theme is applied, you can run this to see how most common controls will look
**theme10_exe.zip** - Same as Theme10.ahk but compiled to .exe, for those without ahk_h. it **does not** contain TestGUI.ahk
### To apply a .theme file
To apply a .theme file, simply double-click it. It will be applied and the OS's theme window will also open up.
You may also make changes like setting you background(s) through the OS options (such as Personalize -> Background).
There is also a button under the File menu to apply the current theme, if it has been saved.
### Keys:
| KEY | Action (in the main window) |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ctrl+s | Save |
| alt+s | Save to clipboard |
| ctrl+o | Open/load a .theme file |
| arrows | While color picker (crosshair) is active moves cursor by 1 pixel |
------
## HOW IT WILL LOOK
Not all windows will look the same. Many programs theme stuff differently, or override defaults. So like all High Contrast themes, it'll probably look ugly on some/most windows. Don't blame me. Also, this was **made for Windows 10**. The created themes may or may not work on older OS's.
Since this was made for and tested only on Windows 10, I cannot/did not test if it works with Classic Theme *(the Windows 98 look)*. If it does, you'll probably have access to more of the colors. High Contrast only uses a handful of the available colors.
