This is a runtime modification to the amazing Python Fitting Assistant that implements a pseudo darkmode theme for the Pyfa windows build. For someone using Pyfa often, the default windows theme colors can be quite strenuous for the eyes.
Looking at the Pyfa Issue thread regarding Dark/Nightmode a prober solution has never been fully released, so I decided to sit down and make a quick-n-dirty work around to this.
Download the .zip file named "release_###.zip" from latest release
To install copy the files named "oleacc.dll" and "oleacc.ini" into the Pyfa installation directory.
To uninstall delete the file named "oleacc.dll" from the Pyfa installation directory.
This should work on at least following Windows versions:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
It currently supports the latest version of Pyfa for windows, but this could change in the future with changes made by the Pyfa developers.
When build this solution creates a DLL, that is automatically loaded by Pyfa when placed in the installation directory.
The DLL hooks a specific set of windows functions, modifying the color values.
From version v1.0.0 it is possible to select one of multiple color themes. To change theme add or update the entry "ActiveThemePalette" in the Configuration file.
|
|
|
|
| BlackBeauty (1) Default |
Licorice (2) | LicoriceBlue (3) | Daintree (4) |
It is possible to specify your own color theme using the "OverrideThemePalette" entry in the Configuration file.
Deprecated
The optional file "oleacc.ini" contains custom settings, and can be freely edited.
For any changes to take effect, Pyfa must be restarted.
