import pygame
import pywinstyles

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.display.set_caption("Pygame Window")

### Get Windows Accent Color with pywinstyles

Source: https://context7.com/akascape/py-window-styles/llms.txt

Returns the current Windows system accent color as a hex string. Useful for matching your application's color scheme with the user's Windows theme preferences. The accent color can then be applied to the window header.

```python
import tkinter
import pywinstyles

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")

# Get the user's Windows accent color
accent_color = pywinstyles.get_accent_color()
print(f"System accent color: {accent_color}")  # e.g., "#0078d4"

# Apply the system accent color to the header
pywinstyles.change_header_color(root, color=accent_color)

root.mainloop()
```

--------------------------------

### Set Widget Opacity with pywinstyles

Source: https://context7.com/akascape/py-window-styles/llms.txt

```python
import tkinter
import pywinstyles

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")
root.title("Widget Opacity")

# Create a frame widget
frame = tkinter.Frame(root, bg="blue", width=200, height=100)
frame.pack(pady=20)

# Set opacity to 50% using widget ID
pywinstyles.set_opacity(frame, value=0.5)

# Or make white color transparent inside widget
# pywinstyles.set_opacity(frame, color="white")

root.mainloop()
```

--------------------------------

### Get System Accent Color

Source: https://github.com/akascape/py-window-styles/blob/main/README.md

def handle_dropped_files(files):
    """Callback function receives list of dropped file paths"""
    for file_path in files:
        print(f"Dropped: {file_path}")

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")
root.title("Drag and Drop Files Here")

# Create a drop zone
drop_zone = tkinter.Label(root, text="Drop files here", bg="lightgray", width=40, height=10)
drop_zone.pack(pady=20)

# Enable drag and drop on the widget
pywinstyles.apply_dnd(drop_zone, handle_dropped_files)

# Optional: increase character limit for long file paths (default is 260)

```

# Method 2: Find window by its title
# hwnd = windll.user32.FindWindowW(None, "Window Title")

# Apply any pywinstyles function using the HWND
pywinstyles.apply_style(hwnd, "mica")
pywinstyles.change_header_color(hwnd, color="#00524d")
pywinstyles.change_title_color(hwnd, color="white")
pywinstyles.change_border_color(hwnd, color="#00ffff")
```

--------------------------------
