hi!

I know that I can change the systemcolors by changing the registry
([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE] - "SysColor") and performing a reset.

Is there a way to change the system colors *without* performing a reset?
e.g. sending a message to the GWES or setting an event or so?


thanks in advance
astrid

You can broadcast a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to all top level windows (use
HWND_BROADCAST as the target window handle), this should cause the system to
refresh.
