i just installed 27919 and set up my wallpaper using this script


when choosing a color, its not the desired color thats selected in the script. this used to work fone before

for example, when selecting Win95/98 Teal, instead of it being Teal, its Neon Green. or when selecting Win95 Navy, it uses a regular blue

anyone else experience this?

i just discovered what causes this issue. when enabling "Contrast themes" via the Accessibility menu in the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, the normal Windows 95/98 teal is changed to a off green color.

this can be tested using this reg key

Code:
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Colors" /v "Background" /t REG_SZ /d "0 128 128" /f

ill try to find a way for the wallpaper to stay the same color when enabling "Contrast themes"

so enabling high contrast theme increases your rgb wallpaper color values by half. meaning, if you choose teal (0 128 128), you must make the values (0 64 64). choosing 2000/xp blue (58 110 165) would therefore be (29 58 83)
