How to get system accent color

[koohz]

How i can get the system accent color in Windows?
In the windows package i've found windows::Win32::Graphics::Dwm::DwmGetColorizationColor but i'm not fluent with rust so basically i don't know how i can call it

Btw, I don't know if it could be a feature request or something that exists but it's not documented

Tauri does not have an API for that yet. It's being worked on for macOS at least: tauri-apps/tao#589

A rust based solution would look something like this (using windows = "0.39" and for simplicity hex = "0.4"

    let mut colorization: u32 = 0;
    let mut opaqueblend = windows::Win32::Foundation::BOOL(0);
    unsafe {
        windows::Win32::Graphics::Dwm::DwmGetColorizationColor(&mut colorization, &mut opaqueblend)
    }; // this can return an error

    let argb = hex::decode(format!("{:X}", colorization)).unwrap(); // this too, so don't use unwrap if you don't wanna see your app crashing.

This is another solution that uses windows-rs crate and gets the correct accent color even when using "Automatic Accent Color" option in the Windows settings.

pub fn system_accent_color() -> Option<String> {
    let settings = UISettings::new().ok()?;
    // You can change `UIColorType` variant to get different shading
    let color = settings.GetColorValue(UIColorType::Accent).ok()?;
    let color_rgb = format!("rgba({},{},{},{})", color.R, color.G, color.B, color.A);
    Some(color_rgb)
}
