Alright gang, here is the dilemma.
One of the things about Windows Phone is its high contrast style UI, with black background and white text. On Windows 8, especially the Desktop, this is reverse where black is the text color and white is the background. It is a proven fact that having a white background take more power versus a black background. I prefer the look as well. I've tried out the high contrast theme on Windows, but the problem is that it makes the internet high contrast, which sucks. I've also tried out a black theme for Windows, which needed the uxtheme.dll to be patched. I did that one and it kind of messed with the visuals where the open program icons on the Taskbar would appear as if the mouse cursor was hovering over it when it's not.
So this is basically what I want black; Task Manager and File Explorer background from white to black. I'm wondering if it's just a simple registry edit versus a .dll patching. Also while I have the attention, can the text size be overall be sized up a bit without DPI adjusting?
Any input? Thanks!
