AeroBlend - background-based system colors

#1 Post by webfork »

AeroBlend guesses a matching color based on some averaging technique of your desktop background and sets your windows to that color. It's a really cool idea, even if it really belongs in or along side some kind of desktop background manager.

Requires: Win7 or 8 and Aero / DWM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Window_Manager

License: Freeware

Steps:
  • 1. Uniextract
    2. Launch AeroBlend.exe
Status: Not portable. >>> Writes settings to USER\AppData\Roaming\Carthago\AeroBlend ... there may also be some registry entries but in testing, I got flooded with DWM-related entries that may or may not be caused by AeroBlend.

Stealth: No. Even if they fix the settings problem, the nature of the program means registry writes.
