AccentColorizer

Colorize Windows with accent color of your choice - without modifying system files

AccentColorizer patches Windows theme data in-memory and recolorizes everything as soon as you change the accent color.

Supported Windows Vista and higher.

Additional functionality:

Progress Bar colorization

AccentColorizer supports colorization of Progress Bars, but it is not recommended to enable, because it will make it difficult to distinguish between their states (progress bars may turn red to indicate an error, the disk full indicator turns red to indicate that space is running out). However, this is rarely used, and if you want to enable this feature, create the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AccentColorizer key in the registry and the DWORD value ColorizeProgressBar, set it to 1 and restart AccentColorizer.

This can be done from command line:

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AccentColorizer" /v ColorizeProgressBar /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
