How to Activate the dark and light mode through the registry

[Alhlhli]

Hello
I noticed several variables to modify the registry values, I tried and it didn't work
You need to change two values ​​from 0 to 1

Attempts you wrote

reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "AppsUseLightTheme", 1, reg.dword)
reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 1, reg.dword)

	item(title='light mod' image=\uE095 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "AppsUseLightTheme", 1 reg.dword reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 1, reg.dword))
	item(title='Dark mod' image=\uE094 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "AppsUseLightTheme", 0, reg.dword)reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 0, reg.dword))


	item(title='light mod' image=\uE092 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 1, reg.dword)
	item(title='Dark mod' image=\uE092 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 0, reg.dword)

item(title='light mod' image=\uE092 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 1,))
item(title='Dark mod' image=\uE092 reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 0,))

[Alhlhli]

I don't know it might be the = sign or the parenthesis

item(title='light mod' image=\uE092)
(
cmd=reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', 'SystemUsesLightTheme', 0, reg.dword)
)

I'll try to help, but first, which version are you using?

[Alhlhli]

1.8.1

[RubicBG]

1. the correct syntax is cmd=reg.set()

item(title='Light Mode' image=\uE092 cmd=reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 1,))
item(title='Dark Mode' image=\uE092 cmd=reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", 0,))

2. There are some minor things in version 1.8.1 that don't work properly with the reg function - better use one of the beta versions from discord

3. here is an improved version

$is_Light = reg.get('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', 'SystemUsesLightTheme')==1  // !sys.dark
item(title='Change to @if(is_Light, 'Dark', 'Light') Mode' image=\uE092 
    cmd=reg.set('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize', "SystemUsesLightTheme", if(is_Light,0,1), reg.dword) & command.restart_explorer)

[Alhlhli]

Unfortunately it didn't work for me

I took a brief idea

menu(title="Theme" image=\uE26B)
{
	item(title='Light' image=\uE137 cmd='Light')
	item(title='Dark' image=\uE138 cmd='Dark')
	
}

And create files Light.cmd $Dark.cmd
then copy 2 Files to windows directory

`@echo off
cd %~dp0
cd /d "%~dp0"
:: BatchGotAdmin================================================================
:: Amer Alhlhli

REM --> Check for permissions

nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"

REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B

:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"

:: Start========================================================================

Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize" /v "AppsUseLightTheme" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
Reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize" /v "SystemUsesLightTheme" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

:: End========================================================================
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe
`

I would like it to be done directly without the CMD files

This function reg.get is only in the debug version
