Generates color scheme xaml files while replacing certain parts of a template file.
For an example on how this tool works see the generator input and template files.
XamlColorSchemeGenerator accepts the following commandline parameters:
-g "Path_To_Your_GeneratorParameters.json"-g "Path_To_Your_Theme.Template.xaml"-o "Path_To_Your_Output_Folder"-v= enables verbose console output
Just set the working directory to a directory containing GeneratorParameters.json and Theme.Template.xaml and call XamlColorSchemeGenerator.exe.
The tool then also uses the current working dir as the output folder.
