How can we change the title bar color?

[Akascape]

Hello @marticliment, I really like your work on the mica theme for python oriented UI.
This might be an off-topic question but I need a little bit help with some code.

I actually want to change the header/titlebar color of a window (like the title bar of a simple tkinter window).

I think it can be done with DwmSetWindowAttribute using DWMWA_CAPTION_COLOR, but don't know what exactly will be the code for this.

I found a relevant example here (not written in python): https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=78732

I hope there is a solution :)
Thanks...

What you could do is clone the win32mica repo and then start messing with the vaules so they match the ones in the example you provided.

Let's say you edit init.py so it shows like this:
DWM_UNDOCUMENTED_MICA_ENTRY = 34
DWM_DOCUMENTED_MICA_ENTRY = 34
DWM_UNDOCUMENTED_MICA_VALUE = 35
DWM_DOCUMENTED_MICA_VALUE = 35

What would happen?

@marticliment Thanks, it's working with DWM_UNDOCUMENTED_MICA_ENTRY = 35 .
But can we pass a color name (string) instead of integers as the argument?
Maybe replacing this part with something: ctypes.byref(ctypes.c_int(DWM_UNDOCUMENTED_MICA_VALUE)).

Looking at the docs, you should be able to pass hex values, as shown here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/gdi/colorref.

However, i'm new to this color api, and I have no idea how does it work
