DWMCOLORS property (System)

Retrieves the current color-set used for Desktop Window Manager (DWM) non-client frame composition rendering.

This property is an @fm-delimited array containing DWM color values. It is structured like so:

<1> ColorizationColor

<2> ColorizationAfterglow

<3> ColorizationColorBalance

<4> ColorizationAfterglowBalance

<5> ColorizationBlurBalance

<6> AccentColor

Note these colors are in “ARGB” format, so the most significant byte is the “Alpha” value.

Equates for this property can be found in the PS_SYSTEM_EQUATES insert record.
