Changing UWP ApplicationFrameHost.exe colors
Friday, February 28, 2025 by weltraumeule | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Windows 10 here, Hello! 
It bothers me, that these UWP Apps, ApplicationFrameHost.exe Windows only has white and black background colors, dependig on the bright and dark windows mode. WindowBlinds can't change the background colors, I know.
But is there another software capable doing this? Or using registry hacks, changing dll values or something?
I always get really mad when opening windows settings or uwp apps like WhastApp and have to endure the black or white background, instead the usual Window Blinds Skin color.
Greetings!
Edit. Where can I upload a profile picture?

The only other option that I can see is to use Linux [Virtual PC sandbox] to get what you want. Maybe. I am not even sure of that. I seriously doubt any skins that require patching can do what you want, and patching of windows files seems awfully risky to me. Windowblinds is a safer option, since patching could mess up the registry. Or you could use Windowblinds in a virtual PC, sandbox type environment, running Windows 7. Not sure if that would work either.

It's not possible without patching/hacking system files and that would most certainly give you more serious issues to worry about than this.

I'm not afraid patching or ahcking system files. Doing this since windws 98 back then. Changing registry files, replacing windows dlls or editing them and so on. I just need the know HOW to patch theese things in this case and couldn't find an answer anywhere.
Have always system/ image backup, then everything can be rewerted.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Yes, from what I know, there is no option within Windowblinds to change UWP apps background color. As for using another applications to change it is unknown to me. Maybe someone else could come in and share something to help.
