custom WindowBar color

Window bar may change color depending on system theme

Samir

The title bar should follow the current system theme, as it is managed by Windows.
It's not the case actually ? Which version of Windows do you have ?

I'm using LuaRT 1.9.0.
When switching the theme dynamically from an app menu (setting the ui.theme property), the main window bar color remains light even if started form dark.

Also: switching theme in this way is flickering a lot. The best way I found to reduce flickering is to hide() the main window and show() it again after theme change. Is there any better way? ui.update() does not seem to help

Theme support might vary depending on the Windows version :

Only Windows 10 build version after 17763 supports dark theme correctly
Before, some theming functionnalities might cause problems (like the one you describe)

What is the running Windows build version you are using ? (run msinfo32.exe after pressing WIN + R)

Windows 11
By the way, I decided to select the theme upfront from the registry, without runtime switching after the main window is created. This is more reliable.

Very strange. I don't have this problem on various Windows 10 and 11 computers I have tried LuaRT on...
The default theme shoulf be the one actually running on Windows
