Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

windows-titlebar-color

Reads the title bar's color from the Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 registry.

Created for usage in Electron apps.

JavaScript Style Guide

Usage

const winColor = require('windows-titlebar-color')

console.log(winColor.titlebarColor)

// could be #4ca0fe. or anything else.
//           ^ this is at least not a completely arbitrary color since it's
//             the default blue window chrome color that ships with Windows 8

Works with...

...Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10. Generally.

Does not work with...

...Windows 7 "Basic" style (non-Aero), classic window style (as in Win2k and below), high contrast window style and any other kind of manually tweaked window styles.

If you know how to elegantly provide information for those, feel free to open an issue. I'm generally fine with the lack of those since that's where other software (such as Google Chrome) also draws the line to fall back to their own non-OS-following styles.

Also note that the color determined for Windows 7 in Aero mode may differ from the perceived color of the title bar due to glossy transparency magic.

API

It's pretty simple. Grab the module and then go for it:

const winColor = require('windows-titlebar-color')

Stuff you can access on the winColor object:

winColor.titlebarColor

Returns the color of the your Windows machines' title bar as a hex string.

winColor.titlebarTextColor

Returns the text color of the the title bar as a hex string.

winColor.inactiveTitlebarColor

Returns the color of the title bar on an inactive window.

winColor.inactiveTitlebarTextColor

Returns the text color of an inactive window's title bar as a hex string.

winColor.isSupported

Returns a boolean indicating if the running OS is generally supported to read colors from. Does not check for other limitations like those stated above.

winColor.isDetectable

Returns a boolean indicating if the running OS is supported and if a color is detectable for the title bar. (In other words: additionally checks if Aero is active in case the OS is Windows 7.)

winColor.reload()

Freshly loads the colors from the Registry. This is also done on initiation so typically you won't ever need to call this.

winColor.raw

Returns a hash containing the registry values from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM key entries, converted to either boolean or hex color strings. For example my personal Windows 10 hash looks like this:

{
  Composition: true,
  ColorizationGlassAttribute: false,
  EnableAeroPeek: true,
  ColorPrevalence: true,
  AccentColor: '#484a4c',
  ColorizationColor: '#4c4a48',
  ColorizationColorBalance: '#000059',
  ColorizationAfterglow: '#4c4a48',
  ColorizationAfterglowBalance: '#00000a',
  ColorizationBlurBalance: true,
  EnableWindowColorization: true
}
