AutoHotkey v2 Dark Mode
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
; This script creates a dark mode for specific windows by inverting their colors.
; It uses the Windows Magnifier in the background for the color inverting, but it only inverts just the rectangle in place
; of the specific windows, NOT the whole screen like the Magnifier applicaion does. This is possible through DLL calls.
; Big thanks to the original source at https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=563023#p563023.
; Requirements:
; - AutoHotkey needs to be installed in C:\Program Files (or use the workaround from https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/16ux144/ui_access_without_reinstalling_in_program_files_v2/).
; - In the 'Launch Settings' of 'AutoHotkey Dash' you need to enable 'UI Access'.
; Usage:
; Use Win+i to invert a window manually or add it to the auto_invert_gp group to invert it automatically.

SetTitleMatchMode "RegEx"
; Add Programs for automatic dark mode here:
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_class #32770", , "Find|Öffnen|Speichern unter" ; Windows Explorer properties window and many others (but not the file open/save dialog that is already dark)
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_class OperationStatusWindow" ; Windows Explorer dialogs
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe AutoHotkeyUX.exe"
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe hh.exe" ; Windows Help
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe mmc.exe"
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe procexp64.exe" ; Process Explorer
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe regedit.exe"
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe Taskmgr.exe"
GroupAdd "auto_invert_gp", "ahk_exe WinRAR.exe"
; Add Programs where automatic dark mode should never be applied here:
; This is mostly because they have dialogs that match ahk_class #32770 but are already in dark mode

; r+=x*b g+=x*b b*=x a+=x*b 0
