--- About AccentPalette ---

The registry value is located at: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent

The 'AccentPalette' value decides the color of many elements. The elements I've discovered are:

  • Floating
  • FloatingModern
  • FloatingModernSpecial
  • StartOrbHover
  • Taskbar
  • TaskbarTile
  • Tile

Please note that the names aren't from Microsoft; they're just codename I made to make my life easier.

--- Build 14393 specific ---

'AccentColorMenu' will override the DWM\AccentColor (title bar color) when Explorer is restarted.

--- Build 10586 specific ---

For FloatingModern, you must change the value of 'AccentColorMenu' to any other value (non-zero value) so the Explorer will read the new value upon restart.
